If it has support for the 12 hour time format I'm a buyer...but I will hesitate if it is over 200 Euros. I have no interest in this (nor will others in the US) if it only supports the 24 hour time format.
BeoTime supports both 12 hour and 24 hour time format.
It can be set in the menu TIME FORMAT.
Isn't the 12h format reserved for primary school children and thickos only?
A trifle judgemental! I think both are widely used! It is good that B&O cater for both preferences.

The picture on the first page looks cool 😐

In the US it is extremely rare to see time presented in the 24 hour format. I do not believe I have ever seen it outside of time being presented on my BS9000, BL3500 and BS3. I got used to it quickly, but just as quickly, got sick of hearing comments about the time format from my friends and family. Their comments were directed at my "high end" equipment's lack of ability to do such a basic thing (i.e. present time in a 12 hour format) and not at their lack of ability to read the 24 hour format. Based on the strength of your comment I would say that for a product in your part of the world to not display the 24 hour format would be equally inconvenient and ridiculous as a product in the US to not display time in a 12 hour format. For me, despite getting accustomed to the 24 time format, the lack of use of the 24 hour format in my daily life made it slightly inconvenient, which is not something I want in a clock. While I no longer have the BL3500, I did turn off the clock in my BS9000 and BS3. It is too bad because I liked the idea of having a clock on my BS9000. Is there a way to change the time format for the BS9000 mark II to a 12 hour format? The BS3?

It's a good job you don't wear the uniform soldier! I'm sure the might of the US military machine would grind to a halt if every time H-hour were discussed there was a quick double check to see if it was AM or PM that was being refered to.
Now drop and give me 20!
Hut, hut!

Asking a question as to whether an LCD clock can present the time in a 12 hour format is no different than asking in a auto forum if a car will be available in a right hand drive version. The ridicule is unnecessary and "thicko".

No worries. Any time you need help with your apostrophising, just feel free to ask:
'Its just not in general use by the public'
Sorry if I pushed your buttons. I think you'll find the 'thicko' tag won't stick though.
Now you drop and give me 20...no, make it 24 :)
Hmm.. I am going to break the mold and say that I dont like it..... any more photos? on the wall etc??
According to the Dutch July picelist I got last Saturday, the price will be € 320,= for the BeoTime
