May have already been declared but Ive never seen it used. Namely when describing rim dings the traditional hands clock is used as such:
"Rim ding at 11 o clock on the obvesre"
This seems cumbersome. I propose the use of am and pm, am for the obverse pm for the reverse; Thus:
"Rim ding at 11am"
If anyone will second the motion I think we can all start using it and spreading it.

It is still cumbersome in the realm of spoken word. But your vote has been counted.

<< <i>Not a new idea. Using the face of the clock to describe the location of a feature on a coin has been used since clocks were invented. >>
My idea is the addition of "am" and ""pm" to replace the syllable rich oclock/obverse/reverse verbiage, not the clock time themselves.

Good concept except except I think using Obv or Rev rather than am or pm would be less confusing and less definitive.

p.s. since we're talking about clocks, and if you concede that a sundial has the least moving parts, which timepiece/clock has the most moving parts?
accurate and clear descriptions. This sounds like someone who does alot of texting and shortens words for expediency sake.....jmho

Too confusing; every one will argue over where to start zero: Zenith angles, Nadir angles or vertical angles. Sorry the surveyor in me could not resist.

Feel free. My brain f*rts are public domain.
Too easy, an hour glass.
it was a "tongue in cheek" comment about using it (degrees) for telling where a "rim ding" is.

That is more of a timer. I vote for the sun itself.
