years ago in Japan daylight and nighttime were each given 12 hours and clocks were made to adhere to this ... throughout the year as summer days grew longer and nighttime shorter their clocks adjusted to make an hour longer or shorter self adjusting

Just double checking, but the day and night were each given 6 hours, not 12.

TIL - this is very cool. It looks like somebody actually put together a wari-koma (temporal) watch in 2011 as well.
This is so nice and original! You could easily pitch this to a watch brand to pick up the design and functionality.

Really neat! Is this built through react?

Thanks! It's actually just mostly vanilla HTML, CSS3, and Tailwind. I used ThreeJS for the solar clock, 3d euclidean clock and the water clock, and MatterJS to handle the physics for the marble based clock.

Thanks that was a fun one to work on! I initially had it working at the second level HH:MM:SS but the zooming in and out on the canvas every second gave people whiplash.

My guess is that "wari koma" here means basically "separated panels" (wari: broken, koma: panel). Wadokei means (traditional) Japanese timepiece.
