PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a two-direction display clock which has display parts in two directions, front face and side face, capable of displaying the time of other counties together with, at the same time, Japan time. SOLUTION: Three rings 2, 3, and 4, bearing numbers corresponding to hour, minute, and second, respectively, are secured with transparent plates 9. At the plates 9, the marks having the shapes of an hour pointer 6, minute pointer 7, and second pointer 8, respectively, are provided toward the parts of the rings 2, 3, and 4 which correspond to 12 hour, 00 minute, 00 second. The plates are secured to a pointer axis 11, which is attached to a clock body 1 having a front face dial 10. A transparent case 5 is capped to cover the rings 2, 3, and 4. Thus, display parts are provided in two directions, and a front face display part is analogue display while a side face display part is digital display. If Japan time is so aligned that three rings 2, 3, and 4 are vertically in a line at the side face display part, the time of another country is displayed at the same time by coloring or marking such transparent case 5 as bearing numbers representing the time of other countries which correspond to Japan time, at three rings.
