The minute hand could track the month and it would be easy to tell what month it is by dividing the year by 10. There could even be a second hand that goes around once every month. The way the clock would still be amusing but it would also serve as a sort of calender. Each minute tick would correspond to about half a day.

I just hope the batteries last that long. I would hate to wake up one morning to see time has stopped.

Then you could still have the 12 usual divisions. Life would pass away as it seems to for some of us, aka: decades!! But it needs some kind of cuckoo to let you know once a year that it's your birthday. Of course I can see these given as birthday gifts (at birth). You hit the stopwatch button as soon as the baby is born. And of course it needs an obligatory head rest (to hang on one's tombstone). What happens though when you are brought back to life? Do you get a new clock during bypass surgery or just restart the one you stopped?

Shouldn't a lifetime visual metaphor have the hands going up to the half way point and then down from there? Personally, I'm at about ΒΌ past 6 on this thing but my lifehand is moving up.

Actually, that had me counting... Because there are just 4 marks between every 7 years, so, whenever the hand rests on a mark, you should, by all mathematical logic, be 7/5 years older, or, in days, 511.35, taking into consideration leap years. They could have at least bothered to adapt the markings to the 7-year rhythm; like this, it's just a neat idea cheaply executed. Painting over a conventional clock doesn't quite cut it.

How ironic. We could have a dramatic movie death scene where they unplug someone's clock, and it stops ticking, but no one notices cause it measures in freakin' years.
