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?

I have the feeling that the direction of the water in the toilet when flushing plays an important role here.
The first mechanical clocks were invented around 1300. The first flushing toilet was 1775.
Yup. That’s definitely “down”.
