A man went to the railway station to catch the 12:47 train. When he arrived, he realized that he was not wearing his watch. As he walked past the ticket machines, he saw a clock. The man then thought that he was an hour and a half early, so he walked away from the platform. A short while later, he realized his mistake when he missed the train. The clock was correct, so why did the man think he had been early?
Clues:
1. His watch was showing the correct time.
2. He did not ask anyone any questions.
3. He had not read anything about delays.
4. His train was on time and had not been re-scheduled.

The clock he saw was a reflection. It was showing 12:45, but this appeared to be 11:15 since the clock only had dashes on it rather than actual numbers.
