    I prefer “stopped clock,” since broken clocks can often continue ticking, albeit at the wrong speed.

      A broken clock, whether it ticks too fast or too slow, is still right at least once every 24 hours, I think.

      The only exception would be one that ticks correctly but is not set to the right time (does this count as broken?)
