Chronogrove

Exact local time

The hour bends the crown. Sixty buds mature with the minute. A bright pulse climbs from root to highest branch once per second. At midnight, the old crown becomes dust and one seed begins again.

How to read it

A broader, lower crown indicates an earlier hour; the crown rises and tightens through the day. Mature buds show how far the current hour has advanced.

Interaction

Drag across the enclosure or use the arrow keys to shift the view slightly. The tree continues growing from local time.
