I got a new analog clock for my kitchen since the old one I had for decades finally gave out. I grew up with these things, it wasn’t until I was a bit older that digital came to dominate clockspace. Anyway I have a thing where like I’ll look at the time on my phone, and then forget what time it is five mins later. Unlike if I look at a clock face I end up remembering and keeping track of the time.
I like the idea of analog clocks but the ticking noise they make drives me up the wall so it’s all digital for me
totally get that, for some reason i really enjoy the ticking now when there used to be times i didn’t like it. i think i also just like something to be in constant movement in my space or else i get a little antsy.
This one I got has no tick so that’s a plus.
FYI silent analogue mechanisms exist.
It can be annoying but it’s also comforting in a way. It gives you a sense that things are normal, time is still passing same as always, and you’re not frozen in time.
Unless you’re having a hard time sleeping, then it really doesn’t help.
