So... they swapped 3 and 9 numerals. Does it run counter clockwise then, as a horological commentary on our present age of backwardness?





Fascinating, thanks

no, it's a regular quartz movement.

So the hands show 9 o'clock but the face shows 3 o'clock?

yes, the hands show the normal hour corresponding to the wrong number: at 9 o'clock, the hours pointer will be in it's correct place, pointing to a 3.
