Full Product Description:
This particular clock boasts a beautiful mahogany case, complete with a moulded brass bezel, a pendulum access door underneath, and a mechanism-viewing door on the left-hand side, so you can watch the movement while it runs.
Smiths Movement & Timepiece Mechanism:
Originally, manufacturers shipped these movements out to India and cased them locally there, which reduced shipping costs at the time. Because a timepiece mechanism does not chime or strike, this clock ticks quietly rather than sounding the hour. We have restored and serviced the movement, so it now runs reliably and keeps good time.
Adjusting the Pendulum:
You can access the detachable, adjustable pendulum through the door on the underside of the case. Since lengthening or shortening the pendulum regulates the clock's speed, you can easily fine-tune the timekeeping once the clock is on the wall – this may be required as room temperature varies from location to location and temperature can affect the clock speed; therefore, final adjustments may be required once the clock is on your wall.
Winding the Clock:
The clock comes with a brass winding key, which you use to wind the mechanism through the centre of the dial. Because it is a timepiece rather than a chiming clock, you only need to wind the single spring barrel, so winding takes moments.
Case, Bezel & Viewing Doors:
Our workshop French-polished the mahogany case by hand, reviving the wonderful colour and patination of the timber's grain. This clock also features a "deep dish" case design, which means the case sits slightly deeper than the more common 16-inch clocks, giving it a noticeably better-quality feel. On the back of the clock, a bracket lets you fix it securely to the wall.
