The clock clock consists of 12 identical wristwatches, all
strapless. They are set to different times, one hour
apart.
These twelve wristwatches are mounted on the periphery
of a disc, which rotates anticlockwise once every twelve
hours.
A central mechanism drives an hour hand, which
rotate
clockwise at the usual rate.
Thus, the hand always points toward the watch which is
displaying the correct hour.
In the more elaborate version, each of the 12
wristwatches is replaced by a rotating disc of 60
identical watches, set one minute apart, orbiting a
mechanism which drives a minute hand.

Build it and they will watch. |
|

Is there a second's version? |

Daylight savings time would suck. |
|
| |
Daylight savings would be no problem; you only need adjust the central hand an hour. |
|
| |
In an hour the hand moves clockwise an hour (+1)
the
subclocks move clockwise an hour (+1) and the
disk
moves backwards 1/12th of an hour (-1/12)
In 12 hours you're 24 steps forward and one step
back. |
|
| |
Unless I missed something this clock runs
backwards
at half rate |
|
| |
EDIT: I missed something. The clock runs forward
at a rate of 1 and 11/12ths time. To fix it make the
disk retreat at the rate of thirty degrees per hour. |

At (say) 3pm, the hour hand is pointing due east.
The watch to which it's pointing says 3pm, and the
next watch around says... ah, hang on, you're right.
But only technically. |

| |
No adjustment to your invention necessary, [Max] to
fix the issue that [Voice] identified - you just need
to mount the clock inside a aeroplane flying rapidly
East. |

Someone else has just baked a version of a Clock Clock [link] |
