So I just want to make a plug for my own project on this one (mods — feel free to remove). I did a very similar art project for Burning Man in 2009 ("It's about time"), and then released the code as a Pebble Watch face in 2012 ("Subjective Time"). And so now over a decade later, I have completely redesigned the code and increased the complexity of the code and databases by a factor of about a thousand! The new "clock" (yeah, still calling it a clock) knows of thousands of holidays, thousands of locations, every time zone, a dozen alternate calendars, thousands of historical and future events, hundreds of astronomical events, and tens of thousands of quotes. And it give you "time" (or "location") more or less at random, for maximum surrealism. The main version is entirely in python on a Pi, with a round screen. But I'm hoping to port it to an ESP32 for an eventual pocket watch!
