At Paddington station in London there's a clock on the side of a building that appears to have someone inside it, manually drawing on the hands each minute. Its pretty neat https://secretldn.com/clock-man-paddington-station/

I've heard of this before and while this is a really cool idea, it makes for a very bad clock, because you sometimes have to wait for several seconds to tell how much time it is.

Parroting a lot of other comments but in short: * Really neat * Makes me anxious; perhaps an option for one without seconds?

Could keep the units that aren't changing and only change the ones that are.

This would be a super cool change... Just the blocks coming from behind and knocking away the old numbers.

Yup, after a few seconds I was stressed out and had to leave. Imagine the added anxiety when I swiped left to go back (safari) and it didn’t work!
