    Nice. Related, I also love exploring different ways to visualize time, so a few months back I came up with twelve variations arranged in the form of an actual clock that you can click through to see each one.

    Each one presents a different type of visualization (from sand, where each falling grain represents a second to a 3D-modeled set of water wheels)

      That's pretty neat. The ? (help) link and the speed up button overlap on my browser (firefox on android, url bar on the bottom). My email is in my profile, I can send a screenshot if you need it.

    My favorite retirement gift is a seven segment clock that points to the day of the week. It usually gets a laugh, followed up months later with an honest thank you and an anecdote about how it saved them from going to the bank on a Sunday or the like.

    I'm curious, are there any other notable time measurement systems other than the ones listed here?

    Im surprised not to find a radians-based clock among these.
