Just to be awkward....
look at picture one. Lose the base altogether. rotate the whole piece 90 degrees clockwise. tilt it back very slightly just off of vertical. put a completely hidden prop at the rear.
Sorted.

kant the top edge...
stick on button clear pads...

Move the plaque to the right to center the base, bring it forward so that the front edges line up.

#1 and #4 are close, either one works for me. Nice work Herb.

I like the look of the bark on the clock face side, on both the slab and the base, and would consider a dado in the base with the slab set into it.

Herb, I like the newer, one-piece base. With the first base the legs should be centered on the dial.

I think that all of the suggestions ruin an otherwise beautiful clock. I would leave it horizontal and fit a piece behind the clock, out of sight, a slight tilt backwards would also be nice. This tiny clock didn't look right until I gave it a slight slope backwards.
