The order for the globe is: Tree, Water, Wind, Fire; or Fusang, Paryaqaqa, Shu, Pele.
The answer for the clock is just to match the symbols from the journal pages you find to the symbols on the clock when you wear the necklace. There is a small dial in the center of the clock that you switch to choose which clock handle to rotate.

It's been two years, so I don't really remember. But I think the order of the globe buttons was mentioned on the tape. And a hint for the clock was given in the vision mode ('V' key).

Okay, so the part where I was stuck was that I didn't know you had to push the buttons on the globe in a certain order. How did you figure out the order? Or for that matter, what was even the clue to the clock puzzle? I'm totally oblivious, apparently.
