I cannot read the clock hands. I can only read the hands.
What is the typical time mechanism for a 12-hour dial?
At the end of the 15th and 16th century the 12-hour dial and time system gradually became established as standard throughout Northern Europe till this generation. The 24-hour analog dial was reserved for more specialized applications, such as astronomical clocks and chronometers, and timetables, especially for railway and airline travel. The dial is a tiny footprint. While of course the dial could be used for a different calibre, it could also be easily manipulated (the dial is marked).
Wikipedia suggests that the term clock face is used for both clocks and watches
A clock face or dial is the part of an analog clock (or watch) that displays the time through the use of a small flat numbered dial or a fixed-numbered dial or dials and moving hands. In its most basic form, recognized throughout the world, the periphery of the dial is numbered around 1 through 12. The clock turns after 12 hours and so has two rotations each day. From the earliest time, the longer minute hand will run one revolution every hour.
I suppose that you could say: “I can’t read twelve-hour dials” and be understood, but it’s not very idiomatic.
If
you want to read a clock, you need to know read a clock, and you want that to mean clocks.
On an English reality show called “I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here!” one contestant has confessed to not being able to tell the time.
… he earns his airtime by admitting that he didn’t know how to read a clock face (he is a geek and uses a calculator) For a newbie, his watch wasn’t really visible or had a specific number on it. According to him, the number wasn’t related to the item. Can the piece be stolen? It’s definitely fashion, adds M. Gee, adding that it’s’much easier to look at your phone’.
Is there a
clock in the restaurant? I was being depressed and told how bad I was at telling time but should have learned everything what they knew? What
happened is that they already knew this long story and eventually they finally figured it out. I’ve overheard teens talking about saying that they couldn’t read a clock. I was shocked. I should let myself know that a teenager could use a clock when I sleep, or when I wake up. Is not it a problem?
