Show HN: SVG Clocks
Looks nice, but the hour hand is wrong on all the 24 hour clocks.

Is it just that you are in a different timezone than the author?

No. The clocks use the local Date object, but the rotation calculations for hour hand were copied over from a 12 hour clock.
One downside of 24 hour clocks: a broken one is only right
once
a day.

Another downside is that it's confusing all day long. I have yet to see such clock somewhere else than US television. And to be honest, I don't see a point of such clock-face.
