Just found out about this, wanted to post it...but you beat me to it. Badged for visibility. I don't care how impractical this is, I just love the idea of this so much.There is a Clock ringing deep inside a mountain.

I can't find an update, but hopefully the effort is ongoing. I worry about large-scale projects like this with no market incentives :/

Here’s a source that is updated regularly; it’s another large-scale project that gets by without the profit motive. Jeff Bezos is funding the clock. The article mentions a new location in Nevada, as well as a great related Neal Stephenson book.
