It is almost never safe to assume your code is perfect

[Geoff Canyon]

Ha! I just noticed a bug in the above that causes the hour hand to be
updated 6x as often as it should be. The below (I think) updates the second
hand once per second, the minute hand 360 times per hour, and the hour hand
360 times per 12 hours.

The long time was to check if the correct time was being displayed, the
long seconds to see how the "send..in" was working. In the earliest
versions of the script the "send..in" was being done every 500 milliseconds
or so.The switch to send in (1 - (the long seconds mod 1)) seconds was a
very unexpected and exceedingly clever hack. The actual script in practice
would be:

on mouseUp
   setTime
end mouseUp

on setTime
   put word 1 of the long time into T
   split T using ":"
   set the startangle of grc "second" to 90 - (6 * T[3])
   if T[3] mod 10 = 0 then set the startangle of grc "minute" to 90 - (6 *
T[2]) - (T[3] div 10)
   if T[3] = 0 and  T[2] mod 2 = 0 then set the startangle of grc "hour" to
90 - (30 * T[1]) - (T[2] div 2)
   send "setTime" to me in (1 - (the long seconds mod 1)) seconds
end setTime
