clockface
Where hands meet
The clockface is the dial of a clock or watch—the circular surface displaying numbers or markers that indicate the hours.
By extension, clockface describes any circular arrangement of positions, as when giving directions: The target is at two o'clock on the clockface.
Also spelled as two words: clock face.
