Time-nuts

I appreciate the comments regarding horological obsession.  Mine started with a
desire for an accurate master 
oscillator for my ham shack (built and use a couple Shera GPSDO's) and has
blossomed into a much broader interest 
in time (Ex tempus, sapientia?)  

This has led me to a silly quest.  I'd like to use a traditional clock face and
hands as an output device for a 
1PPS signal from my GPSDO.

I know this is a very broad question, but does anyone have advice on where I
might start hacking (or making) a 
mechanical clock face to accomplish this? Is there a simple clock design that I
could start with to build my own? 
Maybe replacing a pendulum or escapement with a solenoid?  Any examples to work
from?

Mark
