You go from inside out “10... 08”. No counting, no distributions.
Edit: Come to think of it you still need to count the offset from the nearest minute hand.

- JohnBooty 6y agoIt's funny how different people have different ideas about what's legible and usable. I've never seen that model in person but in general I find skinny silver hands on a white dial tend to be less than ideal for legibility. And while the numeric minute markers are clever and legible, they seem wholly unnecessary to me -- when looking at an analog clock I'm nearly always going to round it off to the nearest 5 minutes in my head anyway. "Oh, it's almost 4:15" or "Oh, it's about 1:30" etc. Which is not to say anything you're saying is "wrong!" I just think it's interesting how different people think about time and watches differently. One of my favorite things about the watch hobby.
- hdkekbro 6y agoInteresting that you round. I wish I could just be fine with rounding but if I’m being honest with myself I’m anal-retentive when it comes to time. My clocks have to be atomic-synced too. Maybe I need to go all digital. I agree that black on white would add contrast and improve it.
