Hi all, I’m reaching out to the community to help with the design of a hex clock.

I’m honestly very lost on where to start. My current plan is to buy some gears and make a large monstrosity which is unlikely to fit on a wall. Does anyone have a more elegant suggestion?

It’s following the general design of a clock with two main differences:

  1. There are 256 seconds in the second hands rotation.
  2. There are 4 hands, the 4th of which measures ~136 years in a rotation.

    Check out Clickspring on YouTube. He’s literally rebuilding the Antikythera Machine. Hell, reach out to him, he may be interested in helping you out. If nothing else check out the many videos he’s done detailing the clockwork of the thing. All his videos are pretty good. It’s interesting as fuck, anyways. Good luck, I dig the idea.
