Best Answer

Clock dials are used on analog- style (as opposed to digital) clocks and watches. The other term for a clock dial is a clock face, or clockface.

It is the part of the clock where the hour and minute hands (and maybe also seconds hands ) appear. Frequently the clock dial also has numbers, from one to twelve representing the hours, as well as five-minute intervals.

Sometimes there are evenly spaced dots, instead of numbers.
