You can now literally rebuild the Orloj in the form of a small wall clock on an electronic Arduino platform. I mean, if you had a hundred grand to spend, you could build it mechanically, but now with a bit of code and an old train clock from the 1930s, you can build it in your room on a budget.

I bet with some from tweaking from the Hdate C library, I could turn that into a perpetual lunar calendar to show hebrew months, too (or a Mayan calendar). That's all electronic Arduino controllers and stepmotors. It's really amazing.

Then I'll start working on some designs. My ultimate dream clock would show luni-solar calendar, planetary hours, Babylonian/Hebrew daylight/nighttime mean time, and canonical hours. That's just amazing to be able to do in analog format with electronics and step motors alone.
