How do fusee wall clocks work?

A fusee uses a special cone-shaped pulley connected to the mainspring by a fine chain or cord. As the spring loses tension, the chain moves to a wider part of the cone, maintaining steady power. This clever mechanical compensation helps the clock keep more accurate time throughout its running cycle.

Where should I hang a wall clock?

Choose an interior wall that remains stable and free from excessive vibrations, heavy door slams, or direct sunlight. Solid masonry or properly anchored stud walls provide the necessary support for heavier timber cases. Ensure the location allows easy access for routine winding and periodic pendulum adjustment.
