    Rynprov - you really want an alarm? To be set in hextime? You're even more of a geek than me!!
    I'll look into it - but just don't ask me to build in a conversion tool so that you can figure out what 6:45am is in hextime - you're on your own with that one! (It's 9am hextime actually - given my current rules, but this will change using Tilmans info below)

    3 vs 4 (or 2 vs 3)

    Tilman - I see what you mean. I was assuming that a fourth (third) hand would be needed for the maximes - e.g. a normal clock has hours, minutes, and seconds - so 3 hands, whereas the hex clock would have hours, maximes, minutes, and seconds - so 4 hands. What you are saying is that although maximes and minutes require 2 units on a digital clock face, they are combined into a single hand on an analogue version...

    I'll give it a go... watch this space.

    It's kinda cool. But I have some suggestions: Would you add an alarm feature and a digital time readout on the clock face?

    No. For an analogue hexadecimal clock two hands are usual:

    The short hand turns once a day, the long hand 16 times a day.

    If a third hand is used, it´s 16 times faster than the long hand. It makes 256 ticks in one circle, and thus one tick every hexadecimal second. That´s already the fourth digit - a fourh hand would be useless.

    (What you wrote would be true, if every hand made only 16 big ticks in one circle. But that would be very strange.) Greetings...

    Tilman - I never even knew there was such a thing in reality - it was just a bit of fun. According to the URL you provided, to display hex time on an analogue clock face would require a 4th hand for the maximes, so it's probably more suited to a 'digital' type display, but I'll consider giving it a go...
