Make the analog clocks at work run faster. Might be able to do this with changing the timing crystal. Depends upon the clock I guess.

One or two - maybe, but all of them?

Cheap timing crystals change frequencies when subjected to heat (for some duration). So you could take the batteries out and bake them for a little while.

I forget if it increases or decreases the frequency, however.

If they're radio controlled, you can reasonably easily override that signal... 😇

@AlmondSauce Sad, they are not

@kamen I think there are 2 of them.

Do analog clocks even have crystals?

@lobelt some of the ones I took apart did.

@Demolishun yeah so that means the clock is digital? 😂

@Demolishun It would still be kind of an overkill to do it this way. Why don't you just put both of them an hour ahead when no one is looking?

@lobelt You realize even geared clocks operate the same way right? They have a spring, the spring provides force, this force overcomes a threshold and provides a tick. The function of the crystal is the same. It provides a pulse to a set of gears. Once per second.

The more expensive clocks have continuous motion. Not sure if they use smaller ticks or some other tech.

When I say analog clock I am talking about the dial being analog. An actual moving set of dials that rotate around an axis. I don't really care how the internals works.
