The clock is absolutely gorgeous, a true masterpiece. The LEDs are not
controlled by any electronic device, they're always lighted and are
shown at the right time by movings slits in the facing. I don't find
that too much of a iconoclasm. :-)

Here's a similar but totally different clock made with a
microcontroller, an RGB led strip and an hard drive:

I find it absolutely fascinating, and it doesn't look too hard to make,
but it'd be very noisy...
