Digital Mechanical Clocks Edit
Duncan Schotton Digimech Clock

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.
