Move the pivot of the hand to the place you want it to rotate, rotate it to where you want set a key, move the time slider, rotate, set another key, repeat

Well, use the time slider to set it up, 24fps means its one second so use a bit of maths.

Wen your time slider is at 24 its gone 1 second so every 24 frames move the second hand 6 degrees (360/60)

move the min hand 6 degrees every 1440 frames.
