Big Time Student Geared Clock

I really like this clock. The only negative is that, to go from one time to the next, you have to actually wind it around. If you want to go from say, 4:00 to 8:00, you cannot just move the hour hand from the four to the eight, you have to move the minute fully hand around the clock for each hour. I am wondering if there is a way to avoid that, but I don't see how.
