Default Analog clock...setting time
wrote:

As a force of habit I have been resetting the clocks around the house
by only moving the hands clockwise. Somewhere along the line I was
told a clock could be damaged if you moved the hands backwards.
I have no idea of the source or validity of the information. Have I
been misled all these years?
Hi,
I turn the hand backward on our vintage mantle clock. Nothing happened.
Still it keeps good time and chimes as long as I wind it up every week.
