The clock's face is actually okay looking; in another case it could make for a perfectly handsome mantlepiece clock. If they really wanted to go for Baroque [see what I did there?], they'd have used Roman numerals and some super fancy curlicued hands to round out the Hummel figurine vibe. The disparity of that face in that case, though, really brings home the fugly.

What I don't understand about the face, though, is the round things between 4 and 5 and 7 and 8. They definitely add to the ugly.
I believe those are the keyholes for winding the clock and chimes.
They are that, indeed. Right, time, left, chime. Most antique clox have those.
Makes sense. Still not exactly beautifying.
Function should have priority over esthetics.
