Before 1956?
Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night

Wow, am I the only person on lemmy to grow up before any digital clocks, where all the clocks were 12 hours ? Yes, yes I am

There are 24 hour analog clocks dude.

Of course, they exist. But, they are extremely uncommon. Maybe you see them in military context? In sixty years, I’ve never seen one except in a picture, and maybe a movie. Not like a digital clock, where on nearly every one you just change a setting.
Dude.

I see them all the time in different business I go into.

The first time I saw a 24 analog clock in the 1970s was on a tv show (Mash). Did not see another in real life for 30 years
