bug(Timepicker): Timepicker design against Material 3 specifications

No response

Description

The Timepicker we got with @angular/material 19 doesn't look like it should be according to the Material 3 specifications.

Reproduction

Right now it's more like a select list with different times: https://material.angular.io/components/timepicker/overview
But this is far away from the Material specifications and I don't think it's a good UI/UX experience either.

Expected Behavior

The Timepicker should work, look and feel like described in the official material specifications over here: https://m3.material.io/components/time-pickers/overview.

I also found this open source example which I would expect it to be: https://dev.to/dhutaryan/a-new-material-timepicker-component-51aj

Actual Behavior

It doesn't look like in the specifications, and I think this is not the UI quality most of us expect from the material components.

Environment

• Angular: 19.0.0
• CDK/Material: 19.0.0
• Browser(s): Every Browser
• Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): Every operating system
