Interesting fact, originally Roman numeral clocks had IIII instead of IV for 4, because using four Is means you can get an even number of Is, Vs, and Xs out of the press die to avoid having to change it.
20 Is, 4 Vs, 4 Xs. So one die would be IIIIIVX and it would be pressed four times.

Frankly I'm more impressed she was able to even hang it that way
Usually wall clocks are designed to hang right side up
