Nope, never seen one in a barbers, then again Army barbers never had much on the walls anyway, certainly no fashionable haircut pictures for you to pick from - any hair you were left with, you were thankful for!

I have seen one somewhere before though, probably in the old Innovations catalogue in the 80's, beside the clock with just an hour hand, the 'Ish Clock' telling the time as Oneish, Twoish etc.

I remember seeing the backwards/mirrored clocks but I don't think I ever saw one with 21 o'clock at the top!  ???
