There’s a mix of white and black beads. You just don’t see any black ones drop in the video because the last (first) line is all white.

I don’t understand how this works. So the balls have to get in position in under 60 sec and then once they are released they stop at the right place to show the time? Is there a longer version of this?

There are much longer versions on the YT channel of Ivan Miranda who built it: www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3cDM_hQMtIEJvEW1BZugg
It works by pushing out wrong marbles in the elevator so only correct ones for the current time make out to the queue.

That is certainly an interesting channel.
