Mine are late 1940's alarm clocks, and you just turn to the right to unscrew. The back of the clocks are marked with an arrow to show the direction (anticlockwise) to turn to adjust the hands, which means that it you overshoot, you have to go all the way round again (24 hours as they have AM/PM windows). If you can turn your hands in either direction, there must be a different method of attachment.
