The last one, Kimi K2, has been consistently good as long as I've been looking at it. That's pretty impressive.
The rest are hilarious!

Deepseek has a recognisable clock now and then, too. They both mix up the current time, though.
-
By far the best, but still off. These three were loaded in the same order as i post them:
-
I dig the square clock, and am now sad that the numbers can't be put into the corners on a real clock. Unless they're shifted from the usual position.
-
Cartier found a work around quite some time ago and maybe they weren't even the first to design a square 'clock':
(The roman numerals are nice, but notice the 'circle' between the numerals and the hands, almost like the circle from the ai)
-
That one is pretty good, though the Roman numerals are rather busy and uneven.
This one is closer, though now I have to wonder if all non-square rectangular clocks have an old-timey whiff for me, or it's just the border here:
This is also impressive:
-
I like the second one a lot, especially how the upper and bottom numerals face the floor and the left and right ones face towards the center, and to allow for that there has to be a sudden flip from 3>4 and 8>9. But the indices are not playing by the square-clock rule and unlike the cartier one form a regular oval shape.
I like how the upper one had to find a way to make clear which indice represents the numerals - it really shows the problem in projecting the circular movement of the hands into a rectangular (thanks, that's the right word) shape.
It think most analog clocks/watches will give you an old-timey whiff much more often than not, just because there is a more new-timey alternative. I went looking for some watch faces for smart watches, but couldn't really find any interesting one. Most are either digital numbers or a round clock on a rectangular display.
Neither of those interest me like the Cartier tank, which I find really ugly watches to be honest. It's just this double outlined rectangle(-ish shape) which is unevenly split into 60 boxes that I like (seen below on the first, third and fifth watch).

Haha, I found myself thinking the same thing, and then caught myself, realizing all the other LLMs on this page had lowered the bar immensely for what I'm considering impressive.
-
I thought the same and then Kimi K2 came up with a clock that has two 12 and no 11...
