Was there an alternative adjective to “clockwise” other than “the rotation you take around left hand”?

Also, how did all watch companies around the world agree on what the direction of “clockwise” is?

    Oh, you mean like the order of the Alphabet?

      That’s actually the only non-arbitrary thing in existence. If the alphabet wasn’t in alphabetical order, we’d all be dead right now.

        This is correct. Alphabetical Order is one of the fundamental laws of nature. A universal constant.

          Alphabetic order is completely facist nonsense. Obviously the n should come before the m. You wouldnt put w before u, would you?
