Broken

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day." 

Stephen Hunt                                  

Why do clocks go clockwise?

"In the northern hemisphere, the earth rotates counter-clockwise, which means that from our point of view the sun appears to move across the sky in a clockwise direction. Therefore, if you build a sundial to tell time, the shadows will move across it in a clockwise direction. With mechanical clocks, you could of course make them go around either way, but the earliest ones were presumably designed to turn the same way the shadows on a sundial do, simply because that’s what people were used to. "

I would also add that this is the Western World  way: When ever you start reading do you read left to right, or right to left? Does the clock go left to right or right to left?
