Timely Clock

[fogey]

 What time is it eh ? Supposed to be a clock here somewhere ... Aha whats this small dial here eh ?

Looks like this is supposed to be some sort of decoration  with all those ornate markings ! 

It might be some sort of posh timepiece too eh ? You know .. like them spensive designer watches !!!!

Exciting stuff !! I need a closer look !! ... Now wheres me reading glasses eh ? 

Aha yes now I can see it better ... What times it trying to say eh ? Good job Im not driving eh ?

My trusty 1940 Austin 10 had a clock like that !!  

... but it had proper numbers and was the same size as the speedo so you could easily read it whilst driving ... 

Smart thinking in those days eh ? 

Yes, my wonderful mobile armchair Renault 30TX also had a clock like that too ... 

but again it was the same size as the speedo. It was all set in a beautiful wooden veneer facia ... Nice eh ? 

That was was when Renault could really make large cars that were reliable and good to drive ! 

The later model 30TX replaced that clock with a digital display which was much smaller,

but as the hour and minutes were now glowing in a wonderfully clear digital readout 

it was much easier to quickly read the time whilst driving ... Smart piece of design improvement then eh ?

Nowadays digital clocks can be made for next to nothing of course ... 

So now they are really common and cheap looking eh ? 

Right !! ... that wont do at all ... especially in a posh brand new state of the art car eh ?

Now thats really smart thinking for today eh ? 

Now then where are we now then eh? ... Lets see if any body else knows...

What time is it eccles ?  

Um just a minute I got it written down here on a piece of paper ...

A nice man wrote the time down for me this morning ... 

Aha ... Its writted .... Back to The Future ....

Now whats all that about then eh ?

Hi John and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

I would have to agree - the clock time isn't immediately obvious at a glance - most cars usually have a digital display somewhere on the media display or the info screen on the dash and yet the NX seems to be missing this basic addition......

I like the analogue clock, it's classy. 

[Fatts]

Has anyone worked out how to move the clock forward on the Le us analogue clock?

[Nelsthebass]

Don't you just press the little buttons on either side of it?

[DJP]

There are two little buttons either side of the clock. One back one forward.

If in doubt, press them and find out!

I think the right button makes it go clockwise and the left button makes it go anticlockwise

I've just ordered a small digital clock that I am going to stick on nest to the right hand side air vent cover with some sticky pads.  I wish they could add a clock to the main display. How hard would that be?

 

[DanD]

Really? - What's wrong with the analog clock on the dashboard?

[Goggy]

I hate digital clocks, the analogue is so nice looking and does not go out when you switch the engine off.

The analogue clock is in an awkward place to see the time at a glance, especially if you are concentrating on where you are going.  Also your mind has to convert the numberless dial to a time, which ordinarily is not a problem.  If you are focused on the road its a distraction.
