Replied in a sub, but there is a mechanical watch that essentially works this way. The hour hand skips to the appropriate hour. Note that it makes the same distance jump—5 clock hours each hour. Still, an amazing bit of ingenuity in watchmaking.

Well. Aren't you the fancy one? Taking the Express while the rest of us are in our handbaskets.

It's odd how opposite numbers attract.

@christopherbrown @catsalad At least twice a day. 4 and 7 are in the correct places.
@davew @christopherbrown @catsalad With servos and a micro controller, you could do better than that. At the top of the hour, you can spin the hour hand to the correct hour, so it reads correctly per the labels all the time. (We've had self-setting analog clocks for decades now that have the electromechanical bits for this trick already inside them. My highschool had them in the 90s.)

I like how it darkens the sky virtually every other hour, so you can take a short nap.
Thank you for being so considerate.

@catsalad, and there's a fun thing. The displacement of the numbers has some logic:
1 and 2, 5 and 10 - multiple by two.
11 is opposite to 6 and is followed by 5, 12 is opposite to 9 and is preceded by 3; 11=6+5 and 12-3=9; the operation depends on the second operand position (if it goes before or after on the display).
The other pairs differ by one.

@catsalad This has the same unhinged energy to it as when I accidentally sort my email by subject alphabetically.

@catsalad very cursed because how is it supposed to actually function?

@IanAMartin @catsalad they wanted to put him in a Pontiac Trans Am, and he said naw, it wouldn't fit the character, so he got a plain Firebird. The clock on the dash was probably not in alphabetic order.

@catsalad This is what time blindness feels like!
