East Direction

The east direction is the most preferred direction for the placement of clock. The east direction is more important than north direction because east direction is the direction of Lord Indra, the king of gods (greater respect than Lord Kuber who is the lord of North Direction.)

Facing the direction of death while looking at the clock is not considered good for prosperity and well-being. Your business could also be obstructed.

West Direction

West Direction is also not considered a good direction for placing wall clock. But if there is no place for the placement in the east and north direction, then you can place the clock in the west direction.
