Where to find time by the clock apparently (2,3,4,2,2)
I believe the answer is:
on the face of it
'apparently' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on the face of it that I've seen before include "at a quick glance" , "how a clock is read?" , "where are the chronometer's hands?" , "From appearances alone" , "some of those climbing the Eiger may be seen here" .)
