24-Hour '12'-at-the-top Analog Clock
This is a design for a 24-hour analog clock. It has noon at the top, unlike most traditional 24-hour analog clock faces.
It was created using Inkscape and hand-tweaked using both vim and emacs. If you're interested in poking at the original, I suggest grabbing a copy of Inkscape, as there are some Inkscape-specific components of the source. You will be able to show/hide the layers in order to print out just the face.
Version 2.1
(original SVG version 2.1) This version of the clock features a EcmaScript animated display embedded in the SVG source. This should show the current time in SVG browsers that support ecmascript, such as Firefox.
There is also a reduced-size version of the animated display that fits most screens.
Making a Real One
I made a real version of this clock.
The clock is designed to be 30cm in diameter, with a ~26cm diameter face. It's not too hard to find an inexpensive 24h clock movement in order to build a real clock. One such vendor is klockit.com's 24 hour european time clock movement.
Printing the Face
The source SVG is broken up into multiple layers in order to facilitate printing. For convenience, the face layer is shown to the left, linked to a printable postscript version.
For printing, any 11x17" printer should be able to print it (careful about the margins). See the walkthrough on the Target clock mod for an example.
Version 2.0
Version 2 uses SVG's text-on-path feature to place the hour labels, which I've discovered is rather incompatable between platforms.
