This is very nice as it addresses the zero-index nature of time by going 0-23 instead of 1-24. Time would be much more comprehensible if all clock were marked that way.
- capitainenemo 5y agoHm, I think most countries that use 24h time systems use 00:00:00 to 23:59:59
- adolph 5y agoOk, it is interesting that the top of 12h clocks in those countries is often a 12 instead of a zero [0]. Maybe the tension of a cardinal zero in an ordinal world (i.e. 1900 is the 20th century) lead the Swiss Railway to de-number the 12h clock [1]. 0. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gare_de_Lyon_xCRW_1311.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gare_de_Lyon_xCRW_13... 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_railway_clock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_railway_clock
