Those aren't analog clocks. Analog clocks don't have a state where both hands of the clock are horizontal, or where one is pointing south and the other pointing east or west.

They're not even clocks, in that they don't individually keep time. But that's not the point, is it. I think it's a nice project.
It is if you allow for rotation of the hands as well as rotating the entire clock itself. If a clock showing 6:00 is rotated 90 degrees you get horizontal hands. Similarly for rotating a clock that shows 3:00 or 9:00.
No, it isn't. The clocks have the two hands rotating in different directions at times, too.
Well, that's a different objection. If you want to get technical, these aren't analog clocks because regardless of anything else they're running digitally on your computer. QED.
