clock faces

Numbered circular dials

Clock faces are the circular dials displaying time on analog clocks and watches, typically marked with numbers or lines indicating hours and minutes.

The phrase extends to anything resembling this familiar circular design: emoji clock faces, clock faces on vintage jewelry.

A clock face shows the time at a glance, with hands pointing to the current hour and minute.
