First of all you have to assemble solid base, for this I have chosen to use Hard Drive Motors.
Join the motors as shown in the pictures to form desired shape of your clock.
I have created a circle, since it's most common shape of the wall clock.

To create the "face" of my clock I have used aluminum washers or spacers that separate hard drive platters. To join them you'll need drill press and small gauge drill bits.
So, hole in each washer and join them using small self-drilling screw as shown in the picture.
The rest is in your hands, create shapes you like, use as many rings as you have, the more you use For my clock I have chosen actually reflect HOURS using rings. For 3AM/PM I've used 3 rings, for 6AM/PM 6 rings and so on....
