Really? What do you think you're missing? The difficulty with setting clocks +11 hours is that you can't just crank the minute hand in a circle 11 times. You have to wait for the clock to ring before advancing the next hour. Stopping clocks for an hour is OK but you have to remember to go back and start them, and it's all a pain if you have 450 of them. Either way, it takes ... you guessed it ... time. Turning clocks backwards is probably OK if the clock doesn't have strikes for the hour (and perhaps half hour). If the clock just keeps time and nothing else, then perhaps you can move the hands either way. It's the strike mechanisms that get fouled up or break, if you attempt to turn the hands backwards.
