      It’s more for programming when to brew coffee in the morning than for telling time. Then you can wake up and get coffee without having to think about it. Not that it’s hard, but I’m sure removing that one little task makes many people’s mornings a lot easier.

        It’s also good for avoiding heart palpitations when you need to be on time for something and glance at the stove/microwave.

      How do you understand the wall clock though? Its 12 hour, it requires complex visual parsing. I understand if one didn’t have a digital clock (which can be powered by a fucking CMOS battery for ages), maybe they could use it. But I’ve seen these wall clocks at a job that required fast decision making and keeping track of time, and I quit immediatly cus it took me a solid 15 to 30 seconds to parse wtf is fucking displayed on those, and that quickly got in the way of doing the job itself.
