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

As a non-native English reader, I now am not sure if this is a Pratchett reference or if these are actual round world terms…
Pratchett’s just using real-world (albeit archaic) terms: widdershins and deosil.
