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?

    does that mean that “clockwise” in the southern hemisphere is backwards?

      No, because the earth is still rotating the same direction in the southern hemisphere

          Well well, learn something new everyday.

          Pretty weird to think about. And about them having to either face their relevant poles or the equator for them to work equivalently
