Special Analogue Clock

Introduction

Ever wanted a clock that is unique, but that is easier to read, and will puzzle everyone else?
This clock provides exactly that.

Back in the Good Old Days, clocks had seperate dials for Hours, Minutes and somtimes seconds. And for day, date and moon-phase, but that's another story.
Keeping the hands seperate made some of them easier to read than modern, concentric designs, but spreading the dials around made them harder to read.
This clock gives you the best of both - the hour hand is always on the left, where it can be read first. The minute hand is always on the right, where it is naturally read last.
Both hands always point at relevant numbers - no need to interpret roman numerals, or having to know that '2' really means 'ten past', or struggling to work out which ornate bit of scrollwork is which hand.
And last but not least: its just more interseting to look at, particularly when either hand reaches the bottom of the face.

Instructions:

  1. Click 'Show Config' then alter whatever settings you like.
  2. Click the yellow-highlighted 'Update Clock' button.
  3. Sit back and watch. Click the general area of the clock face to make it full-screen, if you like.
  4. Set the "Number of Numerals" to 24 in the 'Hours' section, to put the clock will into 24-hour mode.
  5. If the clock is hidden for a while, it may lose track of time, but will catch up again - first the minutes hand, and then the hours hand will tick round until they are correct.
