years ago in Japan daylight and nighttime were each given 12 hours and clocks were made to adhere to this ... throughout the year as summer days grew longer and nighttime shorter their clocks adjusted to make an hour longer or shorter self adjusting

This is so nice and original! You could easily pitch this to a watch brand to pick up the design and functionality.

Really neat! Is this built through react?

Thanks! It's actually just mostly vanilla HTML, CSS3, and Tailwind. I used ThreeJS for the solar clock, 3d euclidean clock and the water clock, and MatterJS to handle the physics for the marble based clock.

Thanks that was a fun one to work on! I initially had it working at the second level HH:MM:SS but the zooming in and out on the canvas every second gave people whiplash.
