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 the sun rotate with the disc, and faster?

      Wouldn’t sunwise and turnwise be in opposite directions otherwise?
