Digital/Analog clock

This clock, designed by Rhode Island School of Design student Alvin Aronson, uses an analog mechanism to replicate the numbers on a digital clock’s LCD. The transition from minute to minute is beautiful.

I was watching this, and I said "What transition?" after reading the description. So I replayed it and said "holy shit!" I want one.

it's gigantic. that's a drill.

Neat I guess, but it's more of a "slow digital" transition than a real analog one. Not that you'd want that to really be analog - it would be hard to tell what time it is halfway through a minute when the "coming up" and the "coming down" pieces would be at the same level.

Upvote for being gigantic!

no vote... almost big enough but short by just under an inch
