A new form of Lego clockwork

I have seen many analogue clocks on NXTLog; Some of them complex,


And some of them very simple.


Many of them have second hands, but very few have them coming out of the middle along with the minute and hour hands.
I have recently discovered a very simple way of doing this.

All you need is a turn table, a four wide differential, and some other assorted parts. The hand attached to the turn-table is the hour hand. The hand connected to the differential is the minute hand. And the last one counts the seconds.
So there you have it. A much easier way to build the hand part to a clock. Make sure to give me credit if you use it in your design.
