Clocks simply followed the direction of movement from the sundial (as seen in the Northern hemisphere).

Nothing to do with β€œBig Ben” [sic].

The big Ben remark was a joke because people say big whatever controls things. Like big brother controlls the government. Big phama controls drugs. Well big clock controls what we call left and right turning thing. Big Ben is a big clock.

Though you might be able to get the pun but sorry. Misjudged your intelligence
