AHHHHH, another bash coder :-)  Goodie - someone to bounce ideas off of!
Try this on on for size and see whatcha think..

#!/bin/bash
clear
blank="000000"
while : ;
	do 
		hr=`date +%H`; bhr=`echo "obase=2; $hr" | bc`;
		mi=`date +%M`; bmi=`echo "obase=2; $mi" | bc`;
		se=`date +%S`; bse=`echo "obase=2; $se" | bc`;
		tput cup 0 0; echo ${blank:`expr length $bhr`}$bhr;
		tput cup 1 0; echo ${blank:`expr length $bmi`}$bmi;
		tput cup 2 0; echo ${blank:`expr length $bse`}$bse;
	done
