In both aviation and maritime operations, the analog clock (called a chronometer) serves as a visual reference for portions of time. Human beings tend to compute proportions visually in their mind. For instance, regardless of where the minute hand is at any given time, 1/4th of a revolution is 15 minutes, 1/2 a revolution is 30 minutes etc. Time proportions are much easier to compute on an analog disc clock whereas a digital requires actual addition and subtraction of real numbers as opposed to proportional estimations.<br><b>References : </b><br> Analog clocks still serve a purpose.

When an analogue clock goes off, you "know" what time it went off and at least know that its past "that" time, if you see its stopped. I wish you well...

Because some people prefer things as they were. Plus analog clocks still have functionality and are generally more stylish. That being said, I prefer digital as well.<br><b>References : </b><br> Why do we still have manual transmissions? Because some people prefer things as they were.
