We present a quantum circuit with measurements and post-selection that exhibits a panoply of space- and/or time-ordered phases, from ferromagnetic order to spin-density waves to time crystals. Unlike the time crystals that have been found in unitary models, those that occur here are \emph{incommensurate} with the drive frequency. The period of the incommensurate time-crystal phase may be tuned by adjusting the circuit parameters. We demonstrate that the phases of our quantum circuit, including the inherently non-equilibrium dynamical ones, correspond to complex-temperature equilibrium phases of the exactly solvable square-lattice anisotropic Ising model.
