    So what are the purposes? Nobody uses analog clocks anymore so afaict:

    1. To teach fractions
    2. Something to do with being a pilot???

    What am I missing? 😛

      Clockwise, counter clockwise. Classic time shorthand (IE, half past ten, quarter to eleven). Time estimations (easy to see a half minute on a analog clock, digital just goes from 2:00 to 2:01)

      I think analog clock displays are more elegant, and are overall nicer than digital. Personal preference though.
