First you need to focus on which line is the small and the big one, and then sure, you can roughly guess it's "somewhere in the afternoon", but to get accurate numbers you have to look exactly where the small and big line is "Let's see, the small line is...one line before half, so 5, and the big line is at 11, which is one short of full, which means 60-5=55, so it's 4:55"
sure this is done in like 3 seconds for someone who is good with it, OR, absolutely everyone can instantly tell in less than a second see it is "4:54pm" with a digital clock
maybe medieval people would be able to use an analog better for their activities than a digital one, but we in the 21 century use numbers for times for ALL of our schedules. We don't go by "somewhere early in the afternoon" we say "My meeting is at 5pm"
