If you are the kind of person who tells time in "quarter past" and "ten 'til" than this is the clock for you. This tubular clock mounts on the wall and tells time in phrases, not numbers. The two halves alternate hours and 5-minute increments, so that the time will change from a half past eight, twenty-five minutes to nine, twenty minutes to nine, quarter to nine, ten minutes to nine and, finally, about nine!
