The clocks run on a AA battery, and they keep perfect time, but the hands go the other way around.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The numerals, of course, go counter-clockwise around the edge of the clock (with the &#8220;1&#8221; where you usually find &#8220;11&#8221; and so forth). But in most of the backward clocks, the numerals themselves are normal, as you usually see them. However, if you&#8217;re going to be looking at the clock in a mirror, you want the numerals to be mirror-image reversed so they look right in the mirror. Besides this good practical use, backward clocks also make a deeper point: The way we&#8217;ve always done something is not the only way to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clocks for mirror users<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38510"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38510"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38512,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38510\/revisions\/38512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
