Five hundred animated clocks, each telling the time in a different way: historical instruments, languages, games, crafts, cellular automata. Click one for how to read it and how it works, or speed everything up to 3600× to watch the hands race. All the code and text were written by Claude Opus 5.5 under Tom Gally’s direction, and it fits in one self-contained HTML file.
