A functioning (system time) clock set against a star field with Westminster chimes.
Accompanied by a 'second hand ' rotating galaxy and the moon acting as a lit moon dial that follows the moons' mean lunar phases.

For those curious what's on the dark side of the moon, swipe to roll the moon around and inspect it.

The options panel is available by tapping the spinning gear in the upper left corner.
This clock program has 3 selectable faces and 3 selectable chime sets.
All 3 chimes are the Westminster tune, (Big Ben).
The chimes themselves sound very different.
Chime Set 1 is a recording of Big Ben itself. (complete with interesting tonal structures)
Chime Set 2 is a 7 channel bell ensemble with a very nice sound.
Chime Set 3 is a 10 channel instrumental ensemble with a mix of strings and bells.
The volume level of the chimes is adjustable in the options.
You can also test the currently selected chime set in the options to hear the full current hour chime and hour count with the test chimes button.

The moon dial is adjustable via the options panel to bring it closer in line with the shifting of the moons cycles. Like mechanical clocks, this clock uses the mean lunar phase so will drift slightly over the months and years back and forth, the phase setting allows for occasional correction of any unwanted drift.

This clock also has an ambient ticking loop for clock aficionados that love the mechanical sound of a clocks mechanism. The volume of the ticking is adjustable in the options.

There are 2 power saving options to turn off particle effects. You can turn off the galaxy jet particle beam emitters and the colorful vortex visible in the center of clock face number 2, "Elegance clock"
Mea Culpa: I broke the chimes fixing the screen lock time loss bug.
Fixed the chimes, my apologies everybody.
