I think it should be right 4 times a day, even a painted clock is right twice a day.

If you mounted it so that it was viewed in a mirror the hands would look right (I think) but any numbers would not. Perhaps one of the 'cat's resident crafters could work something out, shouldn't cost more than say 10x the cost of the watch, and certainly a one-off.

As for why it is doing this, no idea whatsoever.
