I like the design, it is a neat clock, but as a task this to me is a pretty good definition of a two-point praxis. It is more than the bare minimum definitional completion of the terms of the task, which survives being flagged. It also includes some story and documentation of interesting fiddly-bits of the process, so it is voteworthy at a 1 point level. Then the result itself required non-negligible craft and artistic effort, which I like to see in creative tasks. But as clock-making goes, Rin skipped the tough chrononautic steps entirely, and didn't build a clock itself in the spirit of the Exxon.
Still though, a nice clock, and a worthwhile contribution to the community.
I would have taken it apart to see how it worked but I needed a special screwdriver no one has and I wasn't sure it would go back together right if I improvised
Yeah, you are right. A wall clock is always a missing thing for me too. I had never had it until I moved to California. Here I hired a designer to decorate my flat, so he bought a decent clock. He actually decorated it too. With silver shiny dots and lines. It looked a bit too futuristic, but actually I liked it very much.
