Where is the acceleration of the end of the hour hand directed? Will the acceleration be perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity?

The acceleration of the end of the watch hand is uneven, because the arrow moves, then stops, therefore, the arrow has not only a normal, but also a tangential component of acceleration. Therefore, the acceleration will not be perpendicular to the instantaneous velocity vector.
