I think there is a slight flaw in slowing the drive to half rate. The 
hour hand could then go around once in 24 hours, but the minute and 
second hand movement is halved too. Rather non-intuitive to read unless 
you only put on the hour hand and make a new 24-hour dial face.

You can just have your micro pulse it twice the normal period, but with the same as normal pulse width(s).
