Magnets & ferro fluids, excellent.

Because of the video, I can literally see through the box into the 7 segment magnet chunks moving with the servos when the time ticks over. I like the simplicity & the way the tick flows into shapes.

@damjanstankovic: can you throw up a Cinegraph/GIFV below the fold or something, so that the flow is clearly visible before we even head into the video itself?

Like a 1,2,3...9 sequence for the last digit, because the beauty of that should hit the next person who clicks this.

I am just working on this :) Somehow we missed to put a part of the transforming numbers in the video because we were on such a tight schedule. I will be updating website and more important i will launch the making of document of the whole project that will show all of this.

GIF on the way :) thanks a lot!
