1·7 days agoI’m not doubting they are out there now, but I think based on my own observations it’s a new trend that is only 20 or 30 years old. Or, at least, it was not seen by me in earlier years .
I’m going to get on my soap box and guess such clocks became more popular because of digital devices showing 24 hour time
