I would rather prefer a round clock design: mathematically it’s linear but more stylish and simpler to implement (no reverse movement needed). But then you’d probably want to mount it vertically))
There are definitely companies in the US that would do a prototype PCB for you, but at a 5x premium over the large scale operations in China and not much faster (or as fast as you want in exchange for a blank check). For a hobby project that is often not worth it.
When I used to work at a modular synth company (and was also building/designing lots of DIY synths) we would usually use OshPark, which are domestic, but it was certainly cheaper and quicker to use a service like JLCPCB from china.

Perhaps someone can make a clock using this principle.
Is it that bad already? Last time I’ve checked there were a lot of US options for 3d printing. No for PCB fabrication?
