As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

    There is, you have two sets of numbers for each hour marking like this:

    or like this:

    This requires no change to the time mechanism, so you can pretty easily modify the face of any standard analog clock to be like this.

      Not much of an improvement over the standard design. I already know that the clockhand pointing to 1 means that it’s either 1 am or 13 o’clock/1 pm, but it still doesn’t tell me unambiguously which one it is.

        Well yeah, functionally it is the standard design. In terms of making a readable clock, this is probably the most practical. Anything more would require some major changes to the mechanism.
