Analogue clocks are helpful in low visibility situations. I have one in my bathroom because when I first wake up my vision is too blurry to see the clock, but I can see where the hands are and know what time it is. They are also handy when the clock needs to be far away, like outside in the yard. You can read an analog clock from much farther away than a digital clock because you just need to make out the general positions of the hands.
Also, it's a great way to teach kids multiples of five and fractions. :)

Started to fade from fashion when economics became about making things grow (increase the pie) rather than divide what they had (slice the pie).
