Best Answer

The hands of the clock DO NOT move "anti-clockwise."

If you look at the top sweep of the hands of an analog clock (from the numbers 9 to 3), it sweeps an arc from left to right.

If you look at the bottom sweep of the hands of an analog clock (from the numbers 3 to 9), it sweeps an arc from right to left.

The continuous sweep of the large hand (minute hand) demonstrates a clockwise sweeping motion.

The only ways a normal analog clock would appear to be going anti, or counter clockwise is:

(1) you are looking at it from a mirror, or

(2) you are looking through the back-side of a transparent clock and or wall

watching a "counter-clockwise" sweep of the hands
