The Accursèd Alphabetical Clock

A creative clock project that displays time based on alphabetical order rather than numerical value, offering two distinct and mind-bending modes of visualization.

This clock displays the current time alphabetically. It is inspired by this post on Mastodon.

In Three-Hand mode, the hours, minutes, and seconds are each independently sorted by their English spelling, with a hand for each.

In Combined mode, every possible time (43,200 of them) is spelled out, sorted alphabetically, and a single needle points to the current one.
