An analog clock is one that has a face, with 12 marks or numbers around its edge, and two hands: one for the hour and one for the minutes. Sometimes there is a third hand for the seconds.

Analog clocks usually indicate time using angles. The most common clock face uses a fixed numbered dial or dials and moving hand or hands. It usually has a circular scale of 12 hours, which can also serve as a scale of 60 minutes, and often also as a scale of 60 seconds-though many other styles and designs have been used throughout the years, including dials divided into 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours.
