Arabic Digital Clock

?ti si emit tahW

A digital clock that displays Arabic-Indic numerals

A digital clock or watch

: It uses arabic-indic numerals instead of the, well, arabic numerals that we are used to in western culture.

: What is more everyday, more useful and practical, more Hema than a digital clock?

: People who cannot or do not like to read western numbers and can't spring for a fancy analog clock People who are learning arabic People who want to show off their arabic-ness Hipsters who want to have an everyday product with a twist

: While traveling in Egypt and learning a little bit of arabic writing, I wanted to buy something like this but they told me there wasn't any such thing. The mass-produced parts from China with the western numbers were so cheap that nobody had ever bothered to do the engineering to produce a device like this.

: Parts: custom liquid-crystal display. basic digital watch/clock parts. Expertise: need someone with basic electrical engineering knowledge and skills.

: Need help producing the custom LCD and programming the clock
