Hans Tan's LED clock spells out time in text

Those tried-and-true hands definitely get the job done, but glancing over to find out what time of the day it is should be an adventure. Singaporean Hans Tan has crafted quite the atypical timepiece with his Idea of a Clock (revision 2), which utilizes a LED bulletin board to spell out the time in text rather than using symbols, numbers or long sticks. Best of all, those interested in making the act of watching time go by somewhat enjoyable can order one from the artist himself, but considering the limited edition nature of the piece, we wouldn't waste too much time waffling over pulling the trigger.

or maybe it could be activated by a certain word or secret phrase, such as "computer, give me the time" ...... "beep beep beeeeeep beep beep beeeeeeep..".etc

I have a watch from Arnette that I bought two years ago that does the same thing. I don't see what the big deal is
