First of all, this isn't about 'needing' anything: these clocks and time systems already exist. and have existed for centuries. Understanding the crazy world around us isn't the same as trying to make a perfectly logical world.
Secondly, in my experience, the sky isn't an totally reliable indicator of time. Consider: it's 6:45 in London. It's December. The sky is dark and overcast. Your train is coming. Tell me: is it morning or evening?
I don't see the point in needing a 24 hour clock to 'Differenciate between AM and PM' You should know by looking at the damn sky. Just saying. Also I read that language could limit that. Just look at the sky! Think it about it. Don't think I'm saying this because I can't tell it that way. No, I understand fine but its existence, no.
Raketa make mechanical watches in this time format. I also have a Chinese-made mechanical 15-day ship's clock with this format. I love 24 hour analogue dials!
Cool! I've always read the digital 24hr watch/clock, but i never saw the 24 hr face. I love to get one of those 24 hr analog clock on my wall. But too bad in my country, none of my local retail stores sell 24 hr analogs :(
saw an old one of these today at work, never saw an 24hr analog one before, now i want one!

I think you're missing a few things, Phantom2K9.

@24hourtime
This being London, shouldn't that read "Your train is NOT coming"?
You need to know whether to go home and back to bed or back to the office to spend the night there.
