    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
