Who need analog clocks?? Want the time use digital! Digital is to little use Millitary time? Millitary time is to small? Use UNIX TIME

The only thing i really use thats a dial/analog is calipers and micrometers.

Its like veirneer calipers, there just time consuming and inefficient to modern offerings

it's now 18:53, and while I respect that it seems nonsensical when parsed as a number, I find 1853 more convenient to write on mobile (and it does save two keystrokes on keyboard too).

Miss me with that "1-1=12" shit.

As if they teach us how to read those clocks anyways

I lied about knowing how to read these until high school, then I was too embarrassed to ask, so I learned how to read them.
