As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

    How is this actually an improvement over the standard design? I already know that the clockhand pointing to 1 means that it’s either 1 am or 13 o’clock/1 pm, but it still doesn’t tell me unambiguously which one it is.

      Well, unless you’re hanging out near one of the poles, it’s pretty easy to figure out which one it is with minimal effort.

      Well yeah, functionally it is the standard design. In terms of making a readable clock, this is probably the most practical. Anything more would require some major changes to the mechanism.
