[time-nuts] Crazy Clock

Hi

I realize that this is a bit of an odd project, but this is Time Nuts …..

I want a analog wall clock that reads out GPS time. As far as I can tell, nobody
is crazy enough to make one and sell it in the open market. If indeed there is
one out there, that would be great. This does not have to be a project.

If it is a project, I’m lazy, I don’t want to set the thing and then count on it never 
missing a beat. I want a movement that has some form of feedback. The 
WWVB clocks have a movement like this. I could tear one apart and try to 
reverse engineer the guts. That sounds like. a project inside a project.

Does anybody sell feedback movements like this in the hobby market? If so has 
anybody used one and can vouch for it working for more than a few months? 

Indeed, doing it with a display of some sort would be easier in some respects.
For now at least, I’m looking for a mechanical gizmo with hands that move. 
If it reads out 12 hour time that’s ok. 24 hour time would be super cool, but
it’s not vital. 

Anybody know of a source?

Thanks!

Bob
