A hobbyist built an ambient 'Daylight Clock,' a 24-hour analog display that lights the circumference to show the current daylight span based on a set latitude and longitude. A companion control box lets users step through weeks to see seasonal daylight shifts, override brightness, select latitude via a slider aligned to an Equal Earth map, and toggle 'relative longitude' to simulate the west, center, or east edge of a time zone. The creator credits a friend's earlier daylight-aware clock project as the inspiration.
