analog clock
Face with hands
An analog clock displays time through the physical position of hands rotating around a numbered dial, as opposed to a digital clock's numerical readout.
The hour hand, minute hand, and often a second hand point to markings representing hours and minutes: The analog clock on the wall showed quarter past three.
Learning to read an analog clock remains a childhood milestone despite digital dominance.
