Instructions

This clock takes a moment to synchronise each column, somewhere between 1 and 6 seconds, depending on the particular time and date.
This clock is basically a demonstration of what time would look like if it was designed today, in the era of binary computers. While binary is the basis for all digital communication, binary is rather unweildy for humans, or for large numbers. The time-system that we are all familiar with is based on two different number-bases - base 12 (base 24) for hours, and base 60 for minutes and seconds. Instead, this clock is based on base 16, commonly known as Hexadecimal (often abbreviated to 'Hex') for all four units of measurement: hexHours; heximes; hexMinutes &amsp; hexSeconds.
A hexHour is exactly one and a half 'normal' hours long, and similarly a hexSecond is approximately 1.3 'normal' seconds in length.
This clock uses the system time of the computer that it is displayed on, so if will drift if your device isn't properly synchronised.
