Its primary purpose is to be a novelty item and decorate my office, but sometimes I look at it for the time too. Unfortunately, it lacks any markings or numbers to help read the time so its only really good for getting a rough idea of the time.

How hard would it be to burn the clock markings and times either radially or with a uniform "up" direction into the disk? Has anyone ever seen a similar project or method for burning specific shapes/patterns into a disc?
