Two ideas to consider adding to this cool concept: 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? It looks like both positions have been used for analog 24 hour clocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial 2. Could there be an option to set the background to be a polar-projected world map ( e.g. United Nations emblem) that rotates to align with the turning of the hour hands?…

#82Shouldn't there be two minute hands if you add LA and India (PST and IST)? The minutes are offset by 30 mins in this scenario.
When I add time zones with fractional-hour offsets, the hour hand for those zones is at the appropriate angle within the indicated hour.

#83Love this, PascalPixel! Hope you are well my friend. I smiled at this project and then saw it was made by you — it’s such a beautiful project that only you could have made :). Great idea and execution.

Sounds cool, would you care to link the make/model?
It was the only distributor of 24 hour analogue wrist watches I could find, where the prices were reasonable, is called AAA Watch Club.[0] Mine is specifically from the Military Time Collection, called Military Dress, I believe.[1] Unfortunately, the specific model appeared to be sold out right now. 0 - https://www.aaawatchclub.com/ 1 - https://www.aaawatchclub.com/military-time-watches_5to6.html...

Great ideas! I've added both! Find them in Settings! Enjoy!

> 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? I wear a 24 hour analogue dial wrist watch, with 24 on top. I'll admit, I sometimes wish I had chosen 12 on top, since it's more naturally to look at the watch during the day, and less so during the night. Since it more naturally follows - on quick visual inspection - what it would look like on a normal 12 hour analogue dial.
Rateka also makes a well-regarded 24 hour dial.
Both easily available for €100 or so, though only the vostoks are automatic.
