Note <code>rotate(-0.5)</code> correct for <code>stroke-dasharray</code> offset. Human eyes are keen enough to notice this 1/720 turn skew! <code>scale(1.07)</code> optionally makes the circle radius 60 for a nice round number to work with.
Another convenient radius value is <code>r="95.493"</code> which makes 600 the circumference, or <code>r="114.6"</code> which makes 60 strokes for a 30 degree angle allowing exact positioning of ''short hand'' for each minute of the hour.
* You can avoid the offset with a trick like this
<circle r="57.3" stroke-dasharray="0.5 29 0.5 0" stroke-width="8"/>
''If you do this last trick on this Wikisite, PNG replacement images generated from the SVG fail to reproduce the detail and does not look right, though as an SVG image, it's fine''
