<upd_detl>I don't see this in any of the usual refs, but it could be useful.</upd_detl>

Used to describe directions relative to an observer (e.g. 6'clock meaning "directly behind")

「僕の立ち位置から見て二時方向ね。」

Also used literally to describe positions on clocks:

「そして　4時方向にあるボタンを押します」

<upd_detl>I don't think it's a counter. Although it may be helpful to know that this is the way to give a clock position/bearing, I'm not sure it works as a JE entry.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Given that it literally translates to "o'clock direction", I don't think it's needed. The EJs have multiple translations for this sense of "o'clock": "...時", "...時の方向", "...時の位置".</upd_detl>
