How do I wind an alabaster clock?

Use the provided key to turn the winding squares on the enamel dial gently until you feel resistance. Do not overwind the mainspring. Most nineteenth-century movements require a weekly turn to keep accurate time across the eight-day cycle.

Why does the clock run fast or slow?

Temperature changes and settling furniture can alter the beat of the pendulum. Adjust the small regulation nut on the pendulum rod to speed up or slow down the movement. Clockmakers can also regulate the escapement if minor adjustments fail to correct the timekeeping.

How do I identify a French movement?

French movements often bear stamped foundry marks or serial numbers on the backplate of the brass mechanism. These makers supplied movements to retailers across Europe. Many require a matching pendulum numbered to the movement to keep proper time.
