Alexander Avtanski designed a clock that can be adjusted to keep time on many different planets based upon each one's rotation period -- at the same time. Here's what sets this clock apart from other extraterrestrial clocks, according to its builder:

It has 16 timers that can be independently paused and restarted, and can run forward or backward.
There are 16 alarms with configurable sounds and actions.
Timers can show Earth, Mars, Jupiter, etc. times at the same time.
How about sidereal time, Moon phase, Jupiter's Great Red Spot transit time, and anything periodic in general?

Seems like it'd be trivial as a piece of software.

Asking what time it is on Mars is like asking what time it is on Earth; other planets have rotations and would need time zones just like we do. Or is there a Greenwich Mean Time-style standard for other planets?

I'm really upset I didn't get to see the typo :(

So it's everything a tech geek like me would ever want!
