Why do clocks match up with sundials?
They match up because we DESIGNED them to reflect a measurement that we decided was MOST USEFUL.
You wouldn't want to use a map with a calibration of one 1/1 to navigate the coast of the british isles would you?
Ask yourself this...
Why were the original clocks designed to run 'anti-clockwise'? Did it matter?
