>>except the three with hands (which are also digital but fake analog output)
I read recently that kids in the US are having trouble with analog clocks (big hand - little hand) since most of what they see is digital.
I suppose that's inevitable but it's necessary to pay homage to those who excelled in the analog era.
My late wife and I inherited a Morbier grandfather clock movement that keeps good time and sounds the quarter hour.
It was made in the late eighteen hundreds and it's still running in my living room. My grandsons have promised me that they'll keep it running.
I've read that the designer wanted something that French farmers in that region could build during the winter months when they had free time.
The resulting design was elegantly simple and hundreds of them are still telling and sounding time accurately.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
