    :grillman: I love me a mechanical watch which goes off sync every few months and requires rewinding often

    I like the granularity and the fact that there’s visual progression. My ideal clock is a digital readout with a pomodoro-style ring around it

    i like both
    i like a big analogue clock, good for reading at a glance from across a square
    i also own an ancient casio f-91w that i got when i was 5
    still works, just had to re-strap it about 20 times lmao

    edit: also analogue clocks are pretty universal, whereas if you ask an american to work in 24 hour time they get wild

    I think for certain patterns of thinking about time that are certainly not universal among thinkers, having the geometric representation realized in the motion of the clock makes reading time immediately intuitive on a baser sensory level than when one looks at the numbers, reads them, and then thinks about "where" that is in the course of the day. Of course, with the analog clock, one can do both.
