analog clock

A type of clock normally consisting of a circular dial with twelve numbers, one for each hour in an AM/PM system, a short hand indicating the hour, and a long hand indicating the minute. Minutes are grouped into batches of 5, though sometimes there may be smaller lines between the hour markers for each minute interval. May or may not contain an additional hand indicating the seconds.

Certain unique types of analog clocks may have greater or fewer than twelve hours, though twelve is the most common.
