How to Build a Custom Circular LCD Clock with Raspberry Pi

I built a wall clock using a Waveshare circular LCD and a Raspberry Pi because our kitchen only had an oven displaying the time. This guide covers the hardware setup, installing Raspberry Pi OS, and configuring touch gestures for navigation. I also share how to control screen brightness automatically and showcase several custom clock faces I coded, ranging from Swiss railway styles to minimalist designs.
