This homemade Pong watch will entertain you with retro gaming moves while informing you of the time.

The idea is inspired by Buro Vormkrijgers and his Pong Clock. You can’t control the game, but rather it’s a Pong game in which every minute the right side scores a point, and each hour the left side scores a point. The effect is that the score of the game is the time.

John Maushammer has spent a fair amount of time and energy on this, and has thoughfully shared not only a build log, but also, the technical plans and a whole series of movies showing the progress. Check out this nifty demo video to take a closer look at the watch.

This is hot, hot, so very very hot! And how much do you love the name “Maushammer?”
