Wall Clock with Monthly Date

This clock is not only a handsome way to tell time by the hour, it also tells time by the month.
The top of the clock has a face with both an hour and minute hand, but the clock at the bottom has a single hand and a face that goes from numbers 1 to 30. A small box on the left of the hand shows the day of the week while on the right the box shows the month. The hand moves one number a day.
To read the clock you look at the box on the left. It says Tuesday. The box on the right says August. The hand is on the number 28. What date is it?
