Any suggestions on how to mount this clock using only a single mounting point?

It has a pendulum so it needs to be relatively level. I tried to run a piece of wire between the holes hoping to fish a piece of string or something to create a triangle for mounting but no such luck.

any kind of twine (nylon, fishing, or a shoelace or even just the wire insulation without the wire) that will fit on both holes, make sure to give some slack before tying on both holes (maybe around 1.5 inches), after that precisely find the middle of twine and tie a loop.

edit: if i wanna go more crazy for this, it seems it has screws, i'd unscrew those, take a ruler, get middle point and drill or solder a new hole.
