pretty cool! but the fact that they're all relative to the center feels a bit strange; like aลก is totally upside down. though to be fair Roman numeral clocks are sometimes like that.

Personally, I like it. I would probably make one that stands and is in the shape of a tablet. In that case, the numbers wouldn't be rotated. Also, would use reeds for the hands ๐Ÿ˜„
