analog timer
Dial-based time tracker
An analog timer uses mechanical or electrical components rather than digital circuitry to measure time intervals.
Traditional kitchen timers with rotating dials, spring-wound mechanisms, and clock-face displays are analog timers.
You set the time by turning a knob, and the timer counts down with a ticking sound until it rings: Set the analog timer for twenty minutes.
