Question
how do i set my wall clock do you go counter clockwise or clockwise i have a westminster chimeclock

Answer
Generally you simple turn the minute hand backwards or forwards until you achieve the proper time setting.  There are many, many deviations probable.  If I were to respond to this question properly I would need to know much more about your clock.  At minimum a full description.  An hallways safe way for setting is to never move the minute hand backward, counterclockwise.  HALLWAYS move the hand forward, when the clock starts to chime/strike stop moving the hand and let the striking sequence complete before further advancing the hand.  If the clock needs to be set back, simply stop the clock and restart it when the time matches the clocks display.  If you should allow the clock to remain stopped to long, start it and move the minute hand ahead as described above.  Regards WJP
