I was expecting the red pointer on the back of the hour hand to point to something to make it easier to set rather than having to guess the position behind the black part but I am not sure how that would work.
Thanks for the question. It made me go back and check that the alarm was working correctly. It turns out that it was 12 hours off. What I found was that when you remount the clock hands, the 12 on the black alarm dial should actually point down to the red arrow on the other end of the hour hand. In other words, the hour and second hand should both point to midnight, but the alarm dial should be set to align its 12 with the red arrow on the hour hand. To set the alarm, you turn the alarm button counter-clockwise until the red arrow on the hour hand points to the time you want to get up on the alarm dial. Hope that's clear, and thanks for checking in!
