[I enjoy designing/building clocks as gifts. My favorite was
a clock that "displayed" the time in Braille, using LEDs for
each dot position in the 6-dot Braille cell. The humor, of
course, lies in the fact that the folks most likely to
understand what it even *is* are folks who are blind -- to
most folks it just looks like an odd collection of blinking
lights! Yet, those blind folks would typically NOT be able
to SEE the LED lights! :-/ ]

The current time is Brown-Red-Brown-Orange-Red-White.

I had an idea for a clock that used 6 full-color LEDs that could be made
to be any color, time would be indicated by color according to the color
code used in electronics, "Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet
Gives Willingly" where the digits 0-9 are represented by Black, Brown,
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, Gray, White.

I could get even more esoteric with the color code used for identifying pairs in a telephone cable. ^_^
