Just out of curiosity, what does a circular 24-hour clock look like? Midnight at the top, and noon at the bottom, where 6 o'clock would normally be?

The benefit is in avoiding the confusion that comes from mapping a new concept (a 24-hour clock) onto a very familiar, almost instinctual one (a 12-hour clock).



most 24-hour clocks and watches have 0 or 24 at the top. i've seen a few with 0 at the southern-most position but they are not very common.

here's my watch:

You guessed right. If I wore jewellery I'd wear 24 hour watches: http://www.xs4all.nl/~andres55/cosmonaute1.htm
