Default Smiths CA clock repair question.

Hello, E bay has struck again, bored early hours of the morning!! Took a chance and bought the clock, spares or repair. Inside it is both filthy (the case) and clean (the movement.) ,Took a chance and plugged it in and it started and ran.
The question is there is a red hand which I am guessing is a second hand, it does not move, it looks as if 'someone' has been at the clock as the dial face has a couple of dents in it and the minute hand does not line up with the 12 when the hour hand is on the hour.
Could someone kindly tell me the best plan of action please?
The alarm setting knobs - I have no idea how to use them. I am not fussy about it working to be honest.
As you can tell 'I know nothing' about clocks!.
Thanks chaps.
Cheers.
Geoff.
