An analog clock shows time as angles, so you read the amount of time as well as the time itself: half the dial is thirty minutes, a quarter of it is fifteen. That is why people who set timers or run sessions often prefer an analog face.
Each dial here is drawn from scratch and sweeps smoothly: the classic wall clock, a Roman-numeral dial, a bold station clock whose second hand pauses at 12, a chronograph with sub-dials, a pool pace clock, a dive watch, a pocket stopwatch and a longcase clock with a pendulum.

Questions
How do I read an analog clock?
The short hand shows the hour and the long hand the minutes — each numeral is five minutes. The thin hand counts seconds.
Which analog clock is best for teaching children?
The classic dial, with its large numerals, is the easiest. The visual-timer disc on the disc page shows time left as a coloured area.
Can I change the time zone?
Yes. Choose a city under Time zone.
