Timekeeping device with eight-hour movement

摘要

The subject invention is a timekeeping device having a dial with eight evenly spaced hour indicators and one hand rather than two, for indicating both hours and minutes. For optimal accuracy the spaces between the hour marks contain eleven evenly spaced marks that indicate five-minute intervals. At the top of the dial there are three numerals 12, 8, and 4. On the bottom side of the dial are the same three numerals 4, 12, and 8. The numbers are in such order that noon can be placed at the top or bottom and all times will read properly. Additionally, all PM numbers can be increased by 12 to form a 24-hour dial.
