Hi
I realize this is *exactly* what the OP didn’t want to do, but ….
A PI or any of the little dedicated ARM + GPU gizmos driving a cheap junk HDMI
monitor or TV would make for a very nice display of all that data… The total
cost could still be under $100. With Linux running on the “gizmo” locking it up
to NTP should be a snap. No messy issues with code size ….
Power consumption of even the most efficient display is large.
And, they're not readable in all illuminations. A big advantage of a
mechanical wall clock (aside from the art aspect) is that you can read
it in a variety of lighting conditions.
Of course, for a *real* challenge.. make a display that reflects beams
of sunlight onto the display (at least during the day time). Sort of an
inverse sundial.
