this is no problem, create a 'hand' mc with the registration point at the 'center' of the watch. then use something like:
hand_mc._rotation = 45;
you will need to determine how far you want to rotate the mc, for each different element or 'year' you need it to go to. and then just set the _rotation prop to that position when called. You can examine the rotation by using the 'align/info/transform' panel (transform) to check the rotation values visually. -
