I wonder

if you put AM / PM in the center

then the hour as next biggest circle
then the minute hand as next 
then the second hand in outer radius

then there is a logical order from most important item as central and least important as most outer.

Only problem is fitting 12 circles around central. If the central radius is R what is radius of 12 tangent circles around main AM/PM circle?

Math Quizz for the day! or hey! let the computer figure it out with better guessing, more interesting?

I wanted the AM and PM to be very easily differentiable.  If they are too close in proximity, I really have to read the thing to know which one is in effect.  By placing them in far apart positions, I can tell which one is in effect via peripheral vision.

It does not help that I stop noticing things that stay in the same spot (if I place a bill in an obvious spot to not forget to pay the frigging thing, I stop noticing it because it has become the normal part of the landscape.)

Kind of like putting left/right turn signal lights right next to each other in the middle of the car instead of on the outer edges.

Yeah, putting minutes and seconds outside the hours would have made the surface area of the clock, and I wanted to mnimize the amount of space needed while still having reasonable breathing room between all of the pieces.

So trying to make it easy to see what time it is, or roughly what time it is via sideways glance, factoring in vision impairments and cognitive impairments.

I thought about making seconds smaller to indicate the lesser significance of the seconds, but I find smaller-sized text hard to read.

Not sure how well this would work for folk who are color-blind
