Bug Description
Updating this bug based on the comments and dupes.
There should be a setting in the Time & Date settings control panel to select 12 or 24 hour display format. This should be honored in the indicator, greeter and clock app.

Thanks for the bug report. Let me take some time to report some of my findings below,
1. As you correctly pointed out, a lot of people back then informed me that the 12h/24h mode settings should be something present in the settings application. As such it was removed from the clock app. Also it wasn't included in the new design by the designers.
2. The clock app doesn't change settings system wide like the user timezone, local settings (12h/24h) since it runs confined and I doubt it would be given the freedom to do so. Infact at the moment, the clock app settings page shows the user timezone which on clicking would take the user to the Time&Date section of the settings app where they can change their timezone.
So ideally I would like to see these settings appear in the Time&Date section of the settings app which the clock app can then perhaps link to. I am adding ubuntu-ux project to this bug report to get the feedback of the designers.
