Ha, another trick question. In reality no one had to wind the clock. Someone did, however, have to descend into the subterranean nether regions under the clock tower to open the sluice where water from the underground offshoot of Pogue's Run would be diverted to spill over a water wheel which was attached to a deceptively simple mechanism that would, in effect, "wind the clock".

Once in the late 1920s the stone weights somehow managed to free fall down their shaft resulting in time itself being run backwards several hours.
