Pop the clock hands off. Paint the hour and minute hands as pure of a white as you can get. Give the second hand a pure-white coat, then paint the tip - about 1-2cm of it, no more - red that is either slightly on the paler side or on the more fluorescent side so it can pop out of the darkness of the clock face.
Because right now, that clock is barely readable. Those hands vanish into the wood.
Otherwise, great work on that face. It looks great!
