Building a cleaner, better-documented analog voltmeter clock

Summary

A maker documents the redesign of a voltmeter clock they originally built in 2019. The clock uses analog panel voltmeters instead of traditional clock faces to display time. The author critiques most online designs as needlessly complicated and unattractive, so they set out to build a revised, better-documented version starting with a 3D design mockup. The project blends electronic circuit design with woodworking.
