About 260 years ago, Benjamin Franklin designed a clock with one hand that told both the hours and minutes. You can read more about it here:

Franklin's design never caught on, but clocks based on it have been produced in limited quantities from time to time, for example, an electric version by Paragon in the 1960s, a weight-driven version by Thwaites and Reed in the 1970s, and a wrist watch by Meistersinger in 2015. For more information, see http://www.ablogtowatch.com/meistersinger-benjamin-franklin-watch/

My 3D printed version of the Franklin clock dial is very similar to other versions, except that I replaced the Roman numerals with conventional numerals. I designed it with raised lines and numerals so that I could color them with a sharpie after printing. The small dial is for the seconds hand.
