The ‘Digimech Clock’ is a new design by UK designer Duncan Schotton that combines the concept of a mechanical clock and a digital display. The clock uses vertical sliders operated by electrical motors and counter-weight.

In perpetual motion, these bugs cause a beautiful game embodying the passage of time. Driven by servos controlled by a PIC16F628 micro-controller, the numeral bars drop down due to gravity when the final digits have been displayed.

Numbers are printed on vertical sliders and only reveal themselves when shifted into perfect alignment with the 'display box'. When not aligned they look like random, alien forms. Click the image to see a short film. (dshott)
