One turn: 12 hours. The sexagesimal numeral system, the system we bae our time on, is familiar and at the same time pretty strange. But here it is connected to the binary number system. Twelve positions of the clock-hand are determined binary: 000000000000: no clock-hand, 111111111111: all 12 clock hands. There are also clocks with only 8 or ten clock hand positions.
