As far as I know, no one had figured out a way to remove the clock 
hands gracefully. I can't even tell you how they are fastened in 
place; I've never managed to get one off and I've tried REALLY hard.

You're probably best off finding a good 12V clock. They are easy to 
find, I have lots of them, but keep in mind that there are at least 3 
different versions of 12V type 3 clocks, not counting type 34 clocks.
You want the early version: grey face, short retaining springs.
