Just yesterday youtube showed me this video and I thought to myself what a waste it is to use 30 servos for a project like this:

Your solution is so much cooler.
This video was the inspiration for my project!
I'm testing a geneva drive (you can see it in the front in the photo), that should allow me to reduce the number of motors even further. I think I can get it down to two, maybe even one.
There is no snapping, but the geneva drive will stay locked in position when it is not moving. The thing that I haven't figured out is how to get the 3 to go back to 0 after 23:59, it needs to skip the numbers 4 to 9.
Just make it turn back by 3 clicks. If you’re watching the clock closely enough to notice at midnight you should go to bed anyway 🤷♂️
Seriously though, awesome project!
Wow, never occurred to me before, but this is such an elegant, and simple solution.
