It seems that way!
Could you carefully remove the hour hand and refit it an hour
previous? It might be a keyed shaft to ease assembly (no calibration)
however if it is just a splined/interference shaft you might be okay.
Quite possibly, but I've got better things to do right now.
Well, as it happens, I was sat with the clock nearby, and I thought I've
nothing to lose by having a poke about.
The front came off easily , secured with 4 sprung clips.
I pulled off the second hand, but the main hands seem to be on a
hexagonal shaft. They wouldn't easily come off anyway. On a whim I just
moved the hands back to 11 o'clock and set it off again. Low and behold
it now shows the correct time :-)
Actually the minute hand is about 1/4 minute off, but I'm sure I can
tweak that if it bothers me.
Presumably that is how they should have been sold.
