There are both analog & digital clocks in the cockpits/flightdecks of some aircraft. There are clocks (like Big Ben) which have clock faces with the hands in one set position, but they don't move with the time of day.

Then there are clocks like this one, very rare indeed, where they're not in a plane, but rather a piece of fixed scenery (in this case an airport). First time I moved the time-of-day slider, and saw the hands rotate, I was in total awe of the spectacle.

Someone had to program a model image of a clock with hands that move with the time of day. It can be done, I've seen this YouTube Video, with User "Rotornut44", showing how to write the code. However, just because he shows you, doesn't make it easy. Here's a link to his video, if you're interested:

I also take time to analyze the movement of shadows and sunspots across the floor as the day progresses. An odd but unique perspective. Enjoy!
