There are two basic types of analogue clock display. One where the second hand steps around the dial from second to second (thus disawowing sub-second timekeeping), and the other where it moves smoothly and continuously. It is interesting to contemplate how a leap second would appear on each were it to be implemented.
In the second case, it might be possible to speed up or slow down the second hand to cover both negative or positive leap seconds; essentially a form of SLS. Whether one to starts the speed change 1 second before the hour or 1000 seconds before the hour or N seconds before the hour is debatable. For a wristwatch probably one second is best; that is, get the leap over with as soon as possible. /tvb _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
