  -webkit-transform: skewX(-2deg);
  transform: skewX(-2deg);
}

.clock .digit#digit-2 .cell {

4. Add the following Javascript snippets into your document and set the target date & time you want to count down to at the beginning.

  digit3 = $('#digit-3'),
  digit4 = $('#digit-4'),
  digit5 = $('#digit-5'),
  digit6 = $('#digit-6'),
  digit7 = $('#digit-7'),
  digit8 = $('#digit-8'),
  digit9 = $('#digit-9'),
  digit10 = $('#digit-10');
