Pole Clock, a single 24h clock with multiple timezones

Hi HN! I designed this Pole Clock to be a helpful tool for people like myself who often struggle with managing their sense of time. I found that analog clocks are generally easier to read and understand than digital ones, however I find the fact that every day is broken into two 12-hour rotations unintuitive. A single 24-hour rotation makes it easier to grasp where in the day you are, the bottom half representing night and the top half representing day. Additionally, because the clock displays 24 hours, you can add extra hour hands on the clock for other time zones. This is especially useful if you work remotely or have friends and colleagues in different time zones. At a single glance, see where they are in their days and energy levels! I hope you'll give the Pole Clock a try and find that it helps you better understand and manage your sense of time.
