The Bulbdial clock makes use of the sundial concept, which it has many LEDs to cast three shadows that form the three hands on the clock face. There are three rings of LEDs that cause the object in the center to form the three hands (hour, minute and second).
Of course, this Bulbdial clock is more advanced than a sundial clock as a sundial can tell only the hour, whereas the Bulbdial can be precise down to the seconds. The Bulbdial is the product of Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories, which is available in a four different case designs which are Tortoiseshell, Abalone Pearl, Black Granite, or Granite back/Clear front. And the cases are laser-cut acrylic.
The Bulbdial was built based on the Arduino platform, which both the software and hardware are open-source. And the users will be able to continue to further customize or modify the software and the hardware to suit their needs, if they know how to get around with the programming and the hardware. You can get the Bulbdial Clock Kit at Evil Mad Science ($65) to get started. Be prepared to get your hands dirty with some soldering work with this kit.
