Animate A Digital clock

I need to animate a 24h 7 segment clock build from one chanel LED strips for each segment. 

This clock will run in realtime during the play, but needs also speed up during the set changes in a given speed, that the length of the change will define, until the needed time for the new scene is shown.

The realtime part seems easy. Four different sub cuelists for each digits will run follow cues with right waiting times to show the next digit (as set in presets for each of the four digits) as like a normal clock.

But how to program the fast forward effect from whereever the clock stands to the defined end time in a given (real) time in an elegant way?

An help would be much appreciated... :)

    I should have been more clear about the exact setup. 

    Seconds are not needed, we have only hours, minutes and the two dots, blinking for the seconds.

    We have 4 acts and each of them starting at a given "inplay" time, e. g. 20:34. So I think at a FX related approach it would be difficult to start at the right time.

    With skaters dad's cue lists with macros I can start at a specific time and speed up the clock with a simple macro that change the follow time on the running minutes cue list on the fly, hoping that follow 0 will be fast enough to reach the target time in the given time the set change will last.
