Another alternative is to get a Buck or similar 12V to 6V electronic step down power supply and attach it to the clock. There are also Ford and Packard boxes which were used to power the 5/6V instruments in the 1950s 12V cars/trucks. They obviously cost more and have multiple connections for instruments. The Buck is much cheaper, but more than a buck! I'm about to fit one to the clock in my 1941 120 Club Coupe, which was converted to 12V (sort of) by somebody else. The clock still works but would not for long on 12V.
