Dimitri, 

In this case you do know which way you are looking. For brevity let's
consider a tetrahedral carbon atom with four different substituents... the
first thing you do is to assign them priorities based on there atomic
numbers then you place the smallest priority backward... this gives you the
point of reference you need to say clockwise and anticlockwise...

The algorithm may take a different form but these are the general rules.

I hope it helps.
