If this is like similar clocks I've seen, the pendulum is only esthetic and has almost no weight. The friction of the clock resting against the wall would be more than enough to counteract any forces the pendulum would exert. Two holes shouldn't be necessary, but it will have to be pretty close to level for the tiny electromagnet to work.
