The shorter arrow is the hour while the longer arrow is the minutes. Since the shorter arrow is between one and two, the hour would be one. The clock goes by minutes, and each of the dashes are a minute. There are 60 dashes for 60 minutes. From 12 to 1, it's 5 minutes. It's the same for 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and so on. So 7 × 5 is 35 + 4 is 39, where the longer arrow is placed. So the time is 1:39.
