Six...wait, what?!

Disclaimer: I am uploading this photo in December, as part of an epic backblip endeavor.

Many years ago, I picked up this clock at a boot fair, which looks like a a giant-ass Swatch watch. One of the best bargains I've got, since it only cost me £2.

There are a few things that are odd about it though: it has no number "6,"and it has random letters and symbols around the circumference. Probably just to indicate seconds, but odd nonetheless.
