Possibly for Strike/Silent selection

… or maybe for ‘Strike Repeat’

Seeing that the clock has countwheel striking, It can't be for repeat. I would suggest that it is either Strike / Silent, or more likely to make the clock strike so that by striking forwards the strike and time can synchronize.

For my penance, however … I’ve just found this half-remembered patent:

[ which is of course, irrelevant to the clock in question ]

Yep!

It's for synchronising the striking.
