Quadri-balanced digital time displays for presenting readouts in which (A) during the first quarter of an hour, minute digits are positioned in a relatively upper area trailing hour digits and operated to count minutes from 1 to 15, (B) during the second quarter hour, minute digits are positioned in a relatively lower area trailing hour digits and operated to count minutes from 16 to 30, (C) during the third quarter hour, minute digits are positioned in a relatively lower area leading hour digits and operated to count minutes from 29 to 15, and (D) during the fourth quarter hour, minute digits are positioned in a relatively upper area leading hour digits and operated to count minutes from 14 to 00, with the hour digits having been advanced to the next hour during the third and fourth quarter hours. Such quadri-balanced displays provide immediately comprehendible readouts of time in both gross and precise contexts.
