Do clocks go anti-clockwise if viewed from the back?

If you view the hands through an imaginary transparent clock, yes, every time.

What about if you look at them in a mirror? Is it still clockwise?

Of course it is. Clocks go clockwise.

In fact they go sunwise! Sun dials were developed in the Northern hemisphere so early clocks were built to run the same way.

Got it all fixed.

Took a lot longer and was more effort than expected.

The winged nut came loose with a "winged nut socket" and torque wrench, so thanks to Motman for recommending that.

After 2 hours of effort the syphon was replaced, and the flush now noticeably stronger - very satisfying.

All in all it cost me £43 to do the job.

Thanks again.

What about this clock then? Still clockwise?

My hairdresser has a similar one you can see in a mirror from the chair. But it also the digits mirror-imaged, so it looks like a normal clock.

Maybe the backwards is a clue.
