ABSTRACT:
A timepiece having an analog format with a face that has a first series of numbers and a second series of numbers, with the second series of numbers being concentrically aligned within the first series. Both series of numbers indicate civilian time and military time, with the first series corresponding to AM time and the second series corresponding to PM time. The hour hand of the clock has an outer section and an inner section that is slidably received therein. The inner section moves between an extended and retracted position, pointing at the first series of numbers and second series of numbers, respectively. When the inner section is in its retracted position, the timepiece indicates AM time, and when the inner section is in its extended position, the timepiece indicates PM time. In another embodiment, the timepiece has a liquid crystal display that shows an analog format. The hour hand in this format has an extension that is displayed and points to the first series of number indicating PM time. When the extension is not displayed, at the appropriate times, the hour hand points to the second series of number indicating AM time.
