I’d tend to agree with this. I have an old battery-powered analog office clock, not so that I can see the time (that’s what I have a watch for), but mostly so that I can listen to it tick while I work… I find it soothing.
But the main reason I wanted to write about that post was to draw attention to the completely awesome picture at the beginning of it. I want a clock like that! 
My clock is my Palm Pre, it turns into one on the touchstone.
