Question
Good Day,

I am hoping you can help me out. I recently inherited a Russian Submarine
Clock. The person that had owned it has passed away. My problem is that
he was the only person to wind and set the clock and I did not receive any
directions with the clock. Could you help me out?  My question to you is
how many turns of the key are needed to fully wind it and which direction
do you move the hands to set the time. (clockwise or counter clockwise)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank You.
