Have always rather liked the look of broadcast studio clocks, nicely edge-lit for the subdued surroundings.
So, one of my best Christmas pressies was one of these, from Amazon*...
Easily opened up, and a run of warm white 12v led strip placed around the periphery, under the front bezel.
Run off 9v d.c., it lights up when the workshop lights do...
I like that Chris... I have a particular love of clocks and have a small collection here...
Can't live without the sound of a ticking pendulum clock Oddly, i don't consciously hear them but I do 'hear' as soon as one of them stops! I know instantly...

Bit like that knock or rattle Jim You know where it's coming from, it's not a problem.....Then it stops......Bugger, it's fell off, now I have to repair it!

Notice the BX is still top the list but sadly gone
I am not sure you would like the clock of the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, Jim. It kept accurate time, but had an un-even tick tock. Sometimes there would be a regular "tick tock", then you might get a "tick", followed by a pause, and then the "tock". Worst of all it might miss a bit out, so you get "tick", pause, "tick", "tick". It did a good job of unsettling people.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
