Sorry - misread the question. Ignore my first answer.

That answer will depend on the referee. Some referees will say they are the only individual with the authority to start the clock on the ready. If they miss it, they miss it. Some referees know the crew suceeds or fails as a whole and will allow any crew member to wind the clock. I have not kept a clock in almost 30 years, but if I do, I will see what the referee wants done.
