Was only a few years ago I realized that the minute hand is entirely superfluous for most applications. You can easily tell what ten minute interval of the day you are in by looking only at the hour hand.
On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.
You could have posted this as a top-level reply to the question..
