I think you miss the point, it would be a loop (so both ends would be connected together), so when you got to the end, you would be at the beginning again. These mechanisms were common during the seventies. having said that, every minute there is a slight mechanical "shuffling" sound when there is a digit change. like any noise, it can get annoying. Before the advent of true silent clocks (in the eighties), if you wanted a clock in the room, you put up with the noise. (most clocks made a constant ticking, and had to be wound every week. Oh, Im not that old BTW Hey thats great.

You're the second person who's asked us if the Digital Mechanical Clock is actually available to purchase (we also received this question per email). Unfortunately, to the best of our knowledge, the DigiMech clock is still just a design prototype, and it's not yet in production. Still, if you're interested, please visit the designer's website (find our link in the post above) and attempt to find a way to contact him. I'm sure he'd be pleased to give you more information. Yours, Webmaster OnlineClock.net Hello Cynthia,
