A word of caution about 10-position stepper relays, etc: These devices are quite old, probably 40+ years, and the contacts will have oxidation and other contamination that makes them intermittent. Several years ago I threw out my stepper-relay clock because the contacts were too much hassle to keep cleaning, and a few of them were nearly worn-out. The units I had were not sealed; maybe there are sealed devices in existence, so if you could find some, that might be a game-changer.
Incidentally, the stepper relay unit I had was a pre-nixie era digital voltmeter that used individual incandescent bulbs that side-illuminated plastic numerals. I morphed it into an interesting clock, but it was too unreliable, bulky, and quite frankly, rather ugly.
