But 15 minutes is a quarter of an hour regardless of whether you are using an analog or a digital clock to read the time.

The spatial representation on an analogue clockface is far more evident. Each 15 minute interval sweeps out a quarter of the face with the minute hand.

I don't thing a spatial representation is any more necessary here than it is for referring to 25 cents as a quarter of a dollar.
