That would conform more closely to the triangular display, but be less angular. Or, the display shape could be made square with a similar idea, but the triangular arrangement is easier to read, in my opinion, because it has a center element that is easily identifiable at a glance because of its position and inverted shape. The central triangle in any arrangement of four is visually distinct from the other three triangles, which helps readability. Still, I agree this will appeal to the more mathematically inclined. The arrangement of the three big triangles (hours, minutes x10, minutes) leaves a triangular void in the center. Should that be used for anything? A small solar panel? A hole?

Maybe a simpler pattern along with a simpler way to show the time? Unless you love math and odd shapes I think it would be a hard sell. Still I can see you spent a lot of time thinking up these designs. I think you maybe smart so find this fun to fit time into a basic shape, but need to also consider the end result and what it will turn out like for other people. I have fun seeing your designs still!
