I'd actually only heard "counterclockwise," not "anticlockwise." You learn something new every day.

With a max of 60 marks around their face, the most precision you can directly read is two decimal places. A digital watch with a seconds counter shows four places of precision. That's two orders of magnitude better.
I don't understand your math. Both a digital clock (HH:MM:SS) and an analog watch (so long as it has a second hand) have exactly the same precision. Both tell the time down to the second. In fact, I have a couple of analog watches where the second hand moves every half or quarter second. Those are actually more precise than a normal digital watch that just displays down to the whole second.
As for accuracy, even the best mechanical clocks will lose or gain a couple seconds within a month. But all it takes is a cheap, quartz based digital to maintain that level of accuracy over the course of a year. Again, an order of magnitude better.
I won't argue that. Which is why that the *vast* majority of analog watches use quartz movements. As accurate as any digital watch. The one purely mechanical I own does lose about 1 second per week. So no, it isn't as accurate as a cheap quartz digital watch. But with that one, the joy of it is more about the craftsmanship of the movement than the raw accuracy of the timepiece.

I don't understand your math. To understand my math, you'll have to realize that I forgot about the second hand.  It was late.

Which kind of makes it the third hand, not the second hand.
And if time is linear, why are clocks round?
And if time slows down as you approach he speed of light, then if I use a big enough Monster Cable, could I make my music play backwards?

Clocks are round because time has no end.

they took down the clocks last night, so we created a paper copy of the original and put it up on the wall, it is 5pm Beer O'Clock already...

The company I'm currently working at stopped replenishing most of the office kitchen supplies with the exception of coffee, sugar and cream. No cups, towels and such. Thankfully they still replace the TP on the bathrooms :-O
