Steve D is correct its an analog flip clock. Simply calling it an analog clock doesn't differentiate it it between a clock with hands on, a sundial or an hour glass.

It's a digital clock - the time is expressed quite clearly as a series of digits. You do not have to estimate the position of hands or pointers.

[Jay70]

Gef - just because the display is expresed with digits doesn't mean the workings arn't analog.

[Jay70]

An conversely you can have an analog display on a digital clock too.
