Here is a first attempt at creating a clock with Vega-lite. Feel free to come back with some ideas on how to improve this. I could only get it to refresh using vega-embed. The hands are either shown or hidden based on simple transform filters. I can’t seem to use SVG Paths for the hands. Any ideas?

Here is a much more simple approach and also uses svg hands.

(Edit)

Here is a way to get a timer in Vega-Lite so you don’t need vega-embed. You will get an underline in the editor but you can ignore it.

{
  "name": "time", 
     "on": [{"events": {"type": "timer", "throttle": 1000}, "update": "now()"}] 
},

This updates every second:
