A single-purpose clock for your screen, made from nothing but a single web page. We built it for our workshop, as a reference to check our physical clocks against, and you’re welcome to use it the same way. The photo shows it running on Sebastian (not included).
The second hand borrows the best-known habit of the Swiss railway clock. It sweeps round slightly faster than it should, then waits at 12 before starting the next minute. On the station clocks, that pause is the hand waiting for the minute impulse from the master clock, so every clock on the network starts the minute together. It's the same kind of impulse our Clock Driver recreates for the restored clocks in this shop.
Open the file and it starts at midnight with a bare dial. The cable feeds out of the case, the date and day appear, then the hands wind round to the right time. After that it just tells the time. No app, no account, no notifications.
To see it running, scroll down to see it below.
The day of the week appears in English by default. Add ?lang=de or ?lang=it to the file's address for German or Italian, or open the file and add a line of weekday names for any other language.
Check out for CHF 0.00 and you'll get a single HTML file. Open it in any modern web browser and it keeps time from your computer's clock.
It's cost-free because Solve and Share is one of our three rules.
