The sound of a one-handed clock

If you have some time (and a Mac), please could you test my one-handed 24 hour clock screensaver?



I added a GMT/UT0 hand, but I'm not sure if it works well outside GMT-land.

(It doesn't make any sounds. That's just a zen reference.)

  1. I'm in PDT, and the results are a bit odd - at 7:30AM, it shows arrow hand at 14:30 and orange hand at 15:30.

    Nice use of quartz, I like it. I'd be glad to do testing for you, as I'd like to leave this running on the spare mini in my office.

  2. Thanks - I see that the times are completely wrong... :) Will investigate!

  3. Second version working well in PDT-zone, ditto as screen saver. Nice work!

  4. I took a quick look. It looks very nice and it seemed like it works as it should.
    It takes a surprising amount of processing power to run, though (must be the rotating background).
    Would be really cool if it did that Yes Watch thing with the sunrise/sunset times (see http://www.germane-software.com/software/yesClock/ ).

  6. By the way, I consult for Yes Watches - let me know if you want to buy one at a discount. ;) Gotta help my 24h fan friends out!

  9. I've wanted to buy a Zulu Yes-watch for some time now, and I keep comming back to the website, hoping to see a new design. First of all the Yes-watches wouldn't fit my wrist, because the watches are too large. Secondly it would be so nice if Yes-watches offered a more minimalistic design - Stil with the indication of sunrise/-set, but perhaps without the outer turning ring, as this takes a lot of space in the design.

  10. Those Yes watches are great, but so thick!
