You would probably be better off using a transparent png-image that is square

center of the square. You could then put the clock hand on top of the clock 
face and rotate the hand at will. My students hand the same kind of problem as 
part of their national exam this spring. You could also do some vector 
calculations to find the new center for your widget, but I must admit that I am 
not all that certain how you would go about it then. Mathematics is not my 
strongest subject, and I must admit that at 56 I have forgotten most of the 
maths I learnt in my upper secondary years.

This is where I miss having Scott Rossi around.
My simplistic take on this would be similar:
Make your clock hand twice as long, with half of it transparent.
