It takes twelve hours for the hour hand to move 360 degrees In half an hour the hour hand moves 15 degrees
According to that, the hand will move 5/60 or 1/12. Every minute on a clock face is 6 degrees. An hour hand will move 30 degrees in an hour.
The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours so 6 degrees takes 0.2 hours = 12 minutes.
The long hand makes one complete revolution around the clock in one hour. It travels 360 degrees in rotation, or 2 pi radians. The tip of the long hand travels 2 pi inches per inch of length of the hand. The center of the long hand ( pivot point) does not move at all, but travels 2 pi radians in rotation.
If the hour count is wrong simply move the hour hand to the correct time. The hour hand is a friction fit and it will not damage it to move it. If the hour is striking on 6 instead of 12 quickly move the minute hand to 12 when it begins to strike the hour.
