    Brilliant.

    Could be tricky in the rain. I wonder how long the eraser pads last. But brilliant.

    Wow! I reckon that is probably The Coolest Thing I Have Ever Seen.

    That is very cool indeed.

    There was another thread recently about a much larger device that also manually writes the time, though I can't find it. This one in the OP certainly looks more usable!

    Just so elegant yet practical...

    Edit - probably "wears smaller in real life" too...

    Ingenious. Just the thing for those times when you fancy something a little smaller and more discrete than your usual Graham or U-Boat.

    Thank you, no I hadn’t. That is also amazing, and apparently surprisingly cheap and simple to build - parts all available on eBay. Yes, I just looked, but I still have to build the Nixie tube clock I got for Christmas .
