The German equivalent of quarter-to-H or 10-past-H is quite alive in rural areas. A programmer from Bavaria used always time-to-H for times 45min or greater after the H minutes and H:min otherwise. If you consider time a vector you are traveling on like a train, makes some kinda sense as to ease of perception...
