Analog time indicating device for an instrument panel of a vehicle

An analog time indicating device for an instrument panel of a vehicle, the analog time indicating device comprising:

• a clock face including means for indicating at least one of an arrival time and a remaining travel time, wherein the means for indicating the at least one of the arrival time and the remaining travel time includes a first mechanical hand, and wherein a pair of second mechanical hands is provided on the clock face to indicate current time;
• an interface for integrating the analog time indicating device into a vehicle system for receiving information from the vehicle;
• a microprocessor for processing and forwarding information from the vehicle system;
• and
• a drive unit controllable by the microprocessor, the drive unit driving the means for indicating the at least one of the arrival time and the remaining travel time.
