The binary clock reminds me of this real-life one near the Zoo in Berlin

The train station in St. Gallen (Switzerland) has one too: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Binary_clock_Swiss_rail...

The binary clock reminds me of a similar bar you sometimes saw on videotapes being played back on TV broadcasts. They didn't look like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_interval_timecode , since these are stripes, not blocks. Maybe specific to PAL?

Looks like base-5, but very cool!

yes, base 5, exactly

but lots of dots, so my mind couldn't help but wander ':D
