Older people always remind me to change my clocks for Daylight Saving Time. (lemm.ee)

I haven't used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don't seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

It's probably not exactly analog, it's probably still quartz crystal digital, even if it displays as an analog clock with hands.

Pictures speak a thousand words...

Its 40C outside (over 110F) so im not going to take a photo. It has physical hands, although i don't know if that means anything.

If you truly care to find out, the car is a Nissan Skyline 370 GT.

May I ask year model?

I'm almost certain that even with mechanical clock hands, it's still almost certainly timed by a quartz crystal these days, and even for the past 30+ years.

The quartz crystal is usually supposed to 'tick' at a rate of 32,768 cycles per second, but not all quartz crystal timers are made to perfect timing.
