The best clock setting UI was (and still is? don't know) in my first car, BMW E46 — just 1 knob. Turning left or right to decrease or increase time. Keeping on the extreme left or right position to increase the speed of changes. To set any time in 10-15 seconds. Super

I like this too. If a knob is too obtrusive/expensive, could do the same with two buttons. One button for forward and one for back. Make them sensitive enough that it's likely that a casual press will visibly scroll multiple minutes, but not too sensitive to prevent setting a specific minute with a quick tap.
