A digital clock comprising:
- A clocking module maintaining a measurement of a current time in at least units of hours and minutes and a display which in at least one mode displays a rounded time only in units of hours, wherein the rounded time is obtained by rounding the current time to the nearest hour, such that the displayed rounded time is a simple approximation of the current time, the display additionally displays the current time adjacent the rounded time, and individual indicia of the current time are smaller than indicia of the rounded time.
