A clock dial having a minute face, an hour face with a smaller diameter than the minute face, and a minute hand rotatable relative to the minute face. The minute face has a central axis for rotating the minute hand. The hour face is geared relative to the central axis such that one revolution of the minute hand moves the hour face for less than one full revolution. The central axis has a first gear extending therearound. This first gear engages gear teeth formed on an outer edge of the hour face. A motor is connected to the central axis on a side of the minute face opposite the hour face. The hour face is geared to the minute hand such that one revolution of the minute hand moves the hour face approximately 1/12 of a revolution. The minute face has a set of indicia representative of minutes. The hour face has a set of indicia representative of hours.
