This is a Swiss Station Clock - we see it every day around these parts :) It's made by Mondaine, not sure where you could get it in the States, but here are some facts about it:

the 24 hour clock is no more difficult to learn than the 12 hour clock. it can take kids a long time to learn the time (ahem), and learning to read any clock has a lot to do with routine. giving the hours of the day meaning a child can relate to (what time do you have breakfast? what time does school finish? when is your favourite programme on tv? etc.) makes it easy for them to grasp the concept, not just the numbers.
what is disheartening is adults being lazy and stubborn - and i'm not pointing any fingers at nationalities (our way is the best yada yada). i can work in metric or imperial, it's not rocket science and i am no genius!
