Clocks are made to rotate that way. The clock face is modeled after the sun dial, a more primitive way to track time throughout the day.
Prior to the invention of mechanical clocks, sundials were used to tell time. In the northern hemisphere, the sun's shadow moves around a sundial in a clockwise arc. Mechanical clock dials emulate this motion. Had clocks and sundials been developed first in the Southern Hemisphere, clocks would go counter-clockwise today. Of course, we would still call that direction clockwise.
