I have no clue what a Quine clock is, but I think it would be easier to read if the diagonal stroke on the front of the 1s only extended to the second row of characters from the top, instead of the third.

I noticed this because it was just 11:11 in my time zone >:)

a quine is where the full source is reprinted in the display.

So in this case, the code to create this clock in your website is

<script>

(r=n=>setInterval(t=>{for(j=o="\n",y=5;y--;document.body['inne' +'rHTML']="<pre>&lt"+(S="script>\n")+o+"\n\n&lt/"+S)for(x=-001; x++<63;o+=`(r=${r})()`[j++].fontcolor(c?'#FF0':"#444"))c=x/2%4< 3&&[31599,19812,14479,31207,23524,29411,29679,30866,31727,31719 ,1040][(D=Date()[16+(x/8|0)])<10?D:10]&1<<(x/2|0)%4+3*y},100))()

</script>

which is also what is the clockface.

Also, adding the snippet will get rid of other content in the body element that might annoyingly distract from this beautiful clock :)

Change 19812 to 19748 (or 9874) to apply your suggestion, if you wonder. It's a simple bitmap encoding.
