Well, if the clock actually counted down, or up, it might be more interesting.

It’s allure stems from the time when the phrase “atomic scientists” struck awe or terror in the minds of the populace.

Those days are long gone.

Which is one reason I posted the retrospective video collections. Remember the late 60’s and the early 70’s were quite the violent times, even in Japan (well, by modern Japanese standards.)

Yep. I notice that now it’s also supposed to track climate change, no doubt for the reasons you mention — those days being gone.
It would be cool if someone unveiled a new clock that was exclusively tracking climate change, and counted down (or up). Probably no way to do that in a non-melodramtic, scientifically respectable fashion, though. Just too hard to assign values to what it tracks and how.
