Sky clock

A clock that carries its sky. Each zone shows not just the hour but the sun on its arc, the moon pulling water, the planetary hour walking its ancient rotation, the season a place is in. Time as a continuous field, not a number.

Every zone carries a procedural ambient synthesized in your browser — wind over the Strand, Choate peepers, Istanbul ferry horn. No files, no licensing. Tap a ▶ on any card, or play the whole sky at once.
