There's probably someplace kids could go to learn about analog clocks...

It was the only way I could tell how much time is left, I didn't have a phone till highschool. In school counting down the second till school was over was so crucial.

The only reason you need to know analog clocks nowadays is to solve all the analog clock puzzles in video games.

The only reason you need to own analog clocks nowadays is to practice solving all the analog clock puzzles in video games.

I don't play video games. Although I don't actually own an analogue clock, either. But they are quite nice.

playing video games is a slippery slope to owning a lot of analog clocks. youre saving yourself a LOT of money

That's helpful to know, I'm trying to live frugally.

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

Whenever somebody asks you what time it is, tell them in UNIX time. Become ungovernable.

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.

No one knows how to read a sextant any more. The horror!!

Analog clocks are not really essential technology.

Ok but there are still many places with analog clocks, learning how they work shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.
