I don't think this precision is necessary. We have an analog clock in our living room, and I often quickly glance at it to get a feeling for time. I don't care if it is 11:35 or 11:36, I just think "Oh, it's half past eleven". At a train station, when seconds count, analog clocks are a dumb idea. However, then I also have my (digital) watch.
