I've looked around for a good timepicker a lot back when someone said
we needed a datetime picker. And my conclusion was that there is
currently no good solution for this. 80% of the solutions are
overengineered, and the rest either broken or painfully slow to use.
To quote a conclusion from a stackoverflow user:

"Time pickers just take this kind of UI fetish to a new extreme. Why
not allow your users to either type the time or just use a couple of
drop down boxes for hours and mins. Even drop down lists allow a user
to just type the time."[1]

So, a fancy-shmancy time picker is just a waste of time. Indeed,
writing a text box with client-side validation or a few drop-downs
makes much more sense until someone comes with a solution that just
makes sense to all of us and requires no further comments.
