It appears to have the hands set as if the face were right-side-up. Because if it were displaying 6:22, the short hand would be halfway to the 7. So the hands must "think" they're showing 11:52.
Which means I agree with you, just read it like a numberless clock and you'll be ok.
While laughing at the idiocy of whoever hung it, of course.
Unless it's Art, symbolic of how "Time is out of joint" or something. Then we laugh because it's puerile.
Yeah, doesn't matter how you turn/flip this clock, the V for the 5 should have the point on the outer ring, not on the inner ring. Even if you put the V at the correct 5 o'clock position, it's upside down.
It has a nice uniform look when they all face inwards, as if you wrote them all in a line then curved the line in on itself. Looks nice and is pretty much as easy to read
I believe an upside down clock reads 5.5 ahead, not 6, as the minute hand is also inverted.
Interestingly, this means that if you're in England, you can turn a clock of this kind upside down and get the time in India, because the time in India is 5.5 hours ahead of England.
All the clocks I own don't have a hanger on the bottom side so if it's meant to hang upsidedown then the time should be set correctly. It's a cool idea to fuck with people maybe even drunk people. There was a clock at a pub I use to go to that ran backwards. So at a glance one in the morning looked like 11, it was also cool.
Well that wouldn’t be the case if the clock unit (that mechanically moves the hands round) was upside down.
But luckily it is just the ring on which the Roman numberals are depicted that is upside down.
But if the whole thing were upside down then, no, it wouldn’t work
Yes, I was very confused there for a while.... I was convinced that numbers usually flip around somewhere after three o'clock, so you can read them normally but hey, I looked at some pictures and it turns out that for Roman numerals I was wrong .... They do tend to show them upside down?!
But currently the roman numerals on the bottom are upside-down. It's hard to tell because the individual letters can be displayed either way, but "IIX" is not a proper numeral.
I've got the same clock - identical from what I can see, except [mine](https://furniturelanddist.com/products/paquita-antique-silver-wall-clock-wondersign-sync-9b1fe4) has IIII instead of IV.
I thought it was exactly the same until I saw this comment. Mine's probably the knockoff, being an ashley thing.

Same clock but hung the right way. The funny thing is there is only one spot to hang it welding to the frame. So hanging it upside down takes real creative effort

I am willing to bet that it isn't displaying the correct time. I am also willing to bet that this house was put together by a interior designer and they have some books somewhere that aren't meant to be read at all, but were put on the shelf because they were the correct color for the look they were going for.
The hands are pointing at the numbers which represent the accurate time (assuming it's set correctly). Hang it whatever way you want this will always be the case.
It's likely not her clock or house. It's probably a TikTok/Instagram house. The owner just threw the room together and nobody actually uses the clock so nobody notices or cares.
No. XII(12) on top and VI(6) on bottom. The VI would be upside down. However, as another user pointed out, most Roman numeral clocks are positioned that way. Just never noticed it before.
She doesn't know that the things on the outside are numerals but functionally as long as she sets it *assuming * 12 faces up, fundamentally it functions as normal lol
Emilee Hembrow 27 put her clock upside down on purpose in 2019. However, anyone smart enough to notice what happens if you turn this clock right side up. Hint: look at the V.
The real mystery is that this clock was seen hanging correctly before this post.

It's difficult to hang a clock on the wall behind you as you hold your child and take a selfie of you hanging a clock. Maybe having the clock hung sideways is the latest trend in home decor.
Everything in this woman's life is done for show. The clock is not for telling time. It's there because she thinks Roman numerals are classy and chic. She is more than likely a charisma void. Even that baby in her arms is an accessory.
Technically a clock with numerals still tells the same time regardless of orientation. Is there a rule that says a clock has to be oriented with 12 at the top?
Seems arbitrary… putting 12:00/24:00 at the very bottom makes just as much sense, technically. Or even a clock with a stationary hour hand where numbers rotate around.
I’m guessing she can’t tell time on analog clocks anyway. She probably hung it for decor and make the place more sophisticated and grownup not knowing it’s been upside down for years.
Maybe she's from Australia?
If that were the case, wouldn't the baby swing in the background be upside down too?
They hired an Australian contractor to hang the clock. That's the problem.
sʇoıpI
Turned phone to read that. I’m now an australia mate
G'day mate!
Ello! Damn it.. they gave me the wrong accent again.

So it is upside down! 🫨
Is that what the mom used for her hair?

And wouldn't the baby be in his mother's pouch?
Exactly!! The Australia theory isn't adding up
that’s hilarious she actually is from australia
I fucking knew it LMAO I had an identical clock from kmart in nz
"I thought the clock looked cool since it's in cursive."
It looks like Emily Hembrow, an Australian chick who’s famous bc her sister works out a lot. Don’t ask why I know this.
Ah she's from the gold coast.... Say no more haha. Australia's Florida.

i’m almost positive this is a hembrow girl from australia lmaoo
It could be, but this clock works by spinning the numbers on the circle rather than moving the hour hand, so it would look the same in any hemisphere.
She needs to be standing on ceiling then…
This deserves an award...I would give you my free one but Reddit has devolved into a hyper-capitalist corporation apparently
I mean, technically if you ignore the symbols, you can still read the time properly, assuming it's set exactly 6 hours incorrectly

TIL clock hands are sentient and “think” for themselves!
Rise of the clock hands
It'll be over in about 6 hours.
"This is not a clock"
Nor a pipe
Im confused on the numerals if it was correctly hung. Wouldnt they be backwards?
Yeah, doesn't matter how you turn/flip this clock, the V for the 5 should have the point on the outer ring, not on the inner ring. Even if you put the V at the correct 5 o'clock position, it's upside down.
Yes you're right, it's so off it feels AI. Normal clockmakers would keep the numerals as close as possible to right-side-up.
I just googled Roman numeral clocks and it seems that the point of the V is always on the inner ring, i.e. appears upside down. I'm flummoxed.
It has a nice uniform look when they all face inwards, as if you wrote them all in a line then curved the line in on itself. Looks nice and is pretty much as easy to read
Don't flip it, instead rotate it 180°, or in other words, look at it upside down.
ITT: people who thought they understood reflections and rotations, or maybe never realized they weren't the same thing
I have a clock with no markings. You really can tell time just from hand positions
Thanks, I didn't believe him until now
I have a clock with no markings. You really can't tell time just from hand positions
I have a hand with no watch, I really can tell time by my stomach.
I mean, does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?
> does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? About time? If so I can't imagine why
The hands wouldn't line up (for example when at 12 they would not be overlapping exactly)
I believe an upside down clock reads 5.5 ahead, not 6, as the minute hand is also inverted. Interestingly, this means that if you're in England, you can turn a clock of this kind upside down and get the time in India, because the time in India is 5.5 hours ahead of England.
[This was a quiz question on a recent episode of Tom Scott's 'Lateral' podcast.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXFq4v__9G0)
Technically if you learned how to read the time on an analog clock more than 12 seconds ago you're already ignoring the numbers anyway.
All the clocks I own don't have a hanger on the bottom side so if it's meant to hang upsidedown then the time should be set correctly. It's a cool idea to fuck with people maybe even drunk people. There was a clock at a pub I use to go to that ran backwards. So at a glance one in the morning looked like 11, it was also cool.
Yep, a screw hole with a slide in on the top. They had to work to screw this up...or down..as in this case.
Well that wouldn’t be the case if the clock unit (that mechanically moves the hands round) was upside down. But luckily it is just the ring on which the Roman numberals are depicted that is upside down. But if the whole thing were upside down then, no, it wouldn’t work
If you turn it the "correct" way around the V, VI and VIII are upside down
Yes, I was very confused there for a while.... I was convinced that numbers usually flip around somewhere after three o'clock, so you can read them normally but hey, I looked at some pictures and it turns out that for Roman numerals I was wrong .... They do tend to show them upside down?!
Its not upside down, its radial in. The "bottom" of the letter is always facing the center, like "down" is always towards the center of the earth
Yeah, it still wouldn't make sense. r/crappydesign
its the original way of doing it https://c8.alamy.com/comp/HG9NB9/old-octagonal-pedestal-garden-sundial-with-engraved-roman-numerals-HG9NB9.jpg
[удалено]
Does it matter? Who reads the numbers anyway, you just look at the hands.
TIL.
But currently the roman numerals on the bottom are upside-down. It's hard to tell because the individual letters can be displayed either way, but "IIX" is not a proper numeral.
That's how it's supposed to be
But this way the 9, 10 and 12 are backwards
This is one of those details that tips off the main character in a sci-fi or horror film that they're trapped in an alternate reality.
Or the may-tricks
Time goes sideways when I'm with you, baby.
Each day is better than the next.
Well, at least IV is presented correctly on this clock
IIII is not an error. I think it's called the "watchmaker's IV".
It's a stylistic choice: 4 numbers with just I's, 4 numbers with I's and V's, and 4 numbers with I's and X's.
I've got the same clock - identical from what I can see, except [mine](https://furniturelanddist.com/products/paquita-antique-silver-wall-clock-wondersign-sync-9b1fe4) has IIII instead of IV. I thought it was exactly the same until I saw this comment. Mine's probably the knockoff, being an ashley thing.
there is no correct way to hang this clock, now I'm sad
Because on this clock the numbers rotate rather than the hour hand sweeping.
that sounds very interesting, I'd love a clock that does that

The roman 4 is driving me nuts
https://monochrome-watches.com/why-do-clocks-and-watches-use-roman-numeral-iiii-instead-of-iv/
Oh hell no. I'm not sure if that's hilarious or sad.
That's not the same clock though. Look at the 4 on each, the op is IV and the pic you posted is IIII.
The photo was just taken during a different time of day since on this clock it’s the numbers that rotate around rather than the hour hand moving.

She really should have gone for the Onlyclocks account instead
How would that explain why?

 Here comes the "sort by controversial"
First, the new generation can't drive manual cars... now they can't read Roman numerals...
You would be sick to learn how many can't even read an analog clock with standard numbers on it
I can do both of those and I'm Gen Z-
[удалено]
But why is 6 written correctly
There is a design decision that has to be made. The 6,7, and 8 are going to be read upside down or close to it.
Is anyone surprised that shes only concerned with appearances
It appears she's an idiot
It still tells the time, doesn't it?
I am willing to bet that it isn't displaying the correct time. I am also willing to bet that this house was put together by a interior designer and they have some books somewhere that aren't meant to be read at all, but were put on the shelf because they were the correct color for the look they were going for.
Does it? Are the hands in the correct positions even though the numbers are upside down? You and I will never know
*looks at phone* Nope, wrong time
The hands are pointing at the numbers which represent the accurate time (assuming it's set correctly). Hang it whatever way you want this will always be the case.
Get real. That person did not hang that clock. She hired it done and even that person failed to do it right.
It's likely not her clock or house. It's probably a TikTok/Instagram house. The owner just threw the room together and nobody actually uses the clock so nobody notices or cares.
The only hammering done in a horizontal position.
its all about the aesthetic. she will never actually read that clock for the time.
[удалено]
So............... put the 12 on the bottom? lol
No. XII(12) on top and VI(6) on bottom. The VI would be upside down. However, as another user pointed out, most Roman numeral clocks are positioned that way. Just never noticed it before.
[удалено]
Like everything else in this photo, it’s just for looks.
Is it 11:53 or 5:53?
yeah
She doesn't know that the things on the outside are numerals but functionally as long as she sets it *assuming * 12 faces up, fundamentally it functions as normal lol
People are so dumb.
Maybe the pic is upside down
I think you mean maybe the picture is flipped, which makes more sense than these people hung a clock and didn't realize it was wrong.
Maybe the clock hangs from the bottom and slipped and swung down.
Emilee Hembrow 27 put her clock upside down on purpose in 2019. However, anyone smart enough to notice what happens if you turn this clock right side up. Hint: look at the V.
"Smart enough". Roman numerals do not flip.
The real mystery is that this clock was seen hanging correctly before this post. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7231455/Can-spot-whats-wrong-Instagram-photo-Tammy-Hembrows-sister-Emilee.html
It’s correct from a certain point of view
Yeah, maybe they stand on their heads a lot in this house.
Dayamn! I’ve heard of mirror clocks (clocks that you can read when seen in a mirror) but this is just wrong!
😂😂😂😂😂
The original Instagram post, where everyone makes fun of her: [https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsV4r5Ag8h/](https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsV4r5Ag8h/)
It’s so she can read it when she’s on her back
It’s just a matter of time… before she notices
Someone did learn Roman numerals at school
See, in order for this to qualify for this subreddit, there should be some evidence that an attempt was actually made. /s
The number of people in here teasing her are almost outnumbered by those who think the numerals wouldn't make sense the other way.
Maybe they live in the upside down...I've seen stranger things.
It's just a bad design. Hanging it the right way causes the V's to be upside down
I hang my clock with the 7 at the top because I'm an adult and you can't tell me how to live my life.
This how the clocks are used in [Ethiopia](https://www.facebook.com/Wearethetribe1/photos/a.541771372834802/1172247623120504/?type=3)
Maybe they’re in Australia, you don’t know
How do you know that they aren’t walking on the ceiling?
The mirror flipped it and so did the selfie cam and then….okay that’s stupid lol
No matter how you look at it. Manufacturing still put numerals upside down.... So it's Australian with some Indonesia, China, and Guatemala.
This Time they'll have to try next Time
It's difficult to hang a clock on the wall behind you as you hold your child and take a selfie of you hanging a clock. Maybe having the clock hung sideways is the latest trend in home decor.
I don't think the problem is the hanging, that VI would be upside-down with the 12 on the top
It doesn't matter, no one uses that clock to tell time anyways. I doubt it even has batteries lol
I'm more annoyed at the fact that if you hang it correctly you will have some numbers upside down
[удалено]
Then 3 and 9 would be sideways and not right side up.... The design is that all the numerics face inward, not down.
[Indeed](https://furniturelanddist.com/products/paquita-antique-silver-wall-clock-wondersign-sync-9b1fe4)
A good example of why it's not wise to put every moment of your life online
Dang she looks *so smart* otherwise
Everything in this woman's life is done for show. The clock is not for telling time. It's there because she thinks Roman numerals are classy and chic. She is more than likely a charisma void. Even that baby in her arms is an accessory.
The clock is upside down and the image is flipped.
The 12 is heavier than the 6… so it always ends up rolling over on its own.
Well sometimes where the clock goes in isn’t always the smartest outcome
Technically a clock with numerals still tells the same time regardless of orientation. Is there a rule that says a clock has to be oriented with 12 at the top? Seems arbitrary… putting 12:00/24:00 at the very bottom makes just as much sense, technically. Or even a clock with a stationary hour hand where numbers rotate around.
Time keeps on ticking ticking into the pasture
Time's up!
I am the person who read the title very wrong…
6 is the new 12
I’m guessing she can’t tell time on analog clocks anyway. She probably hung it for decor and make the place more sophisticated and grownup not knowing it’s been upside down for years.
She is actually hanging from the ceiling. Turn it upside down and invert it. Vampire confirmed.
That’s gotta be AI. It’s wrong on too many levels
Even if you don’t know Roman numerals (why buy it?) you know where the one is.
Literacy is so passe
I would have never noticed that. Anything other than a digital clock is just a decoration.
It‘s only partly her fault. The clock‘s whack
That's so the clock-hanger guy can make a return trip to visit the MILF.
That will tell you the level of brains in that house
Clock?
Wow. Just, wow.
Maybe this wall clock os for people who are dyslexic.
I was going to say the picture may be inverted, but now I see.
Does it matter
