What’s your best wall clock?
I’m sure as geeks we all have expanded our interest onto the wall, I have had a look for a few for the home but they tend to command big prices or are unacceptable to the Mrs who will not tolerate a 2 foot Rolex OP on the wall (I know, I’m working on it). So the story of this one (for clarity on my office wall at work!) is that all gauges on diving systems require period calibration, on rare occasions the gaurges fail and need to be replaced, I managed to get this one about 20 years ago and asked the gauge tester to convert it for me. I thought you might like to see it.

Very cool! Are the individual blocks that sync?
I only have one wall clock. It's just something that I got from a discounter years ago for cheap. But it allows me to monitor temperature and humidity too.
I don't have any wall clocks, but I do have a couple of desk clocks that I think are kinda interesting.
Modern Retro Clock from Royal Enamel on Etsy
It's available in several colors, and also available as a wall clock. In addition to this style, the seller has several other retro designs.

And then this Jefferson Golden Hour Mystery Clock. Unfortunately this one "works" but is off my hours per day, and needs repair.

That’s very cool, how does it work?

It's explained in this link:

The LED blocks are wired together and to the control box that you can see behind it. The control box plugs into the wall & has buttons on the top of it to set the alarm & change to time.
