Any digital desktop clock?
You could probably hack something together with a daemon that generates a wallpaper with the time on it and sends e.g. swaysmg output * background /path/to/bg fill at the correct intervals, but I haven’t tried. Alternatively could hack on https://github.com/vilhalmer/oguri or https://github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper which do animated backgrounds.
