Aesop's Fables hits timekeeping

Less haste, more speed, slow and steady wins the race, haven't you ever heard of the hare and the tortoise? It seems to be fast, you really need to be slow... or something. This clock takes the story of the hare and the tortoise and applies those principles to time keeping.

Your hare is your second hand, racing round but really only covering a minute each lap, your tortoise clocks the minutes, and the race constitutes the hour. At this point, trying to work out whether the principle of this works in relation to the story makes my brain make a little 'phhmmp' noise, but I shall assume that the makers have worked it out and all is present and correct.
