so i had a movement of nerdom when i thought it would be cool to have a wall clock that has 1 arm.. it would take 24 hours for the arm to make a full rotation. the clock would then be labeled on 15 increments.. i've looked thru Google to see if anyone has built this before but cant find anything... is it possible?

You could simply omit the minute hand on the clock. That being said, I am not certain if the clock hour hand would correspond to 15 minute increments - but you could always test this to find out.

Should not be hard to do, but you need to change some gears in the clock.

that would only give you a 12 hour clock... right?

Whoops - Good catch Topher -

I believe that you are correct - it would only be a 12 hour movement. I agree with Amrad that a 24 hour movement might do the trick.
