I really like how the numbers on the boxes are all justified differently. I would have probably just centered all the numbers on the boxes... B-O-R-I-N-G-!

I centered them first, but it seemed like an ordinary clock numbers... So I decided to play around with numbers!

Could you imagine if each number lit up when the hand went by? That is a cool idea, I think I will make it when I get the time.
That looks smaller in the pictures than what I am guessing it is, you said the faces of the boxes are 8cmX8cm? that is a good effort!
How complicate would it be if you added minutes an seconds...

Actually back (side on wall) and face side of each box is 10cmx10cm and all the other sides are 8cmx8cm. Yeah good effort :D...Making boxes took me a few days, but was worth it. Right now I'm editing the video. Check it out tomorrow. Cuz in the video U can better see the actual size of the box. Thank you for comment!
