However in the current implementation you hit the switch once and the clock arms start spinning until they get to their new position. The movement is random and imprecise ranging from about 35 minutes to 40.You don't know where the hands are going to stop.
Does anyone have any information on how this worked?

Pressing the two-way rocker switch up, the RPM increase , by pressing down RPM decrease. The original switch returns automatically to neutral.
From version E-4, the switch was replaced by a thumb switch on the throttle. The opening in the instrument board was sealed with blank sheet metal. Marked on the instrument board: E9.
The original pitch indicator "clock" is graduated so that 1 hour equals 6° of blade pitch or, 10 minutes equals 1°. The Bf 109E-3 VDM propellor can be placed in any position from 22.5° (fine pitch/high speed) to 90° (fully feathered) by 1-minute steps, equals 0,1° blade pitch.

As an aside. The range of the BF109E-3 propellor (CloD beta v14413) is from 12.00 full fine to 02:40 full coarse. ClOD BF109E-3 Propeller pitch comes with available positions in 5% increments from 0% to 100%, control can also be assigned to an axis that allows "finer" control at 1% increments. Assuming, that 10 minutes on the pitch indicator "clock" equals 1° you are able to adjust the pitch in steps by 5,6 minutes. I wonder if this equals a pitch range of 90°-22,5°=67,5°.
