How do I wind an antique pendulum regulator?

Winding requires inserting the appropriate key into the dial winding holes and turning gently until resistance is felt, taking care not to overwind spring-driven models. For weight-driven longcase or Vienna regulators, the winding handle draws the heavy brass weights back to the top of the case via lines or chains.

Where should I hang a wall regulator?

Wall regulators need mounting on a solid, stable wall surface using secure fixings capable of supporting the substantial weight of hardwood cases and glass. Positioning the clock away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and exterior doors prevents temperature fluctuations from affecting the wooden case and pendulum length.

Why does the clock lose or gain time?

Timekeeping variations usually stem from changes in ambient temperature or the level position of the case, which alters the beat of the pendulum. Adjusting the regulating nut located beneath the pendulum bob lengthens or shortens the effective swing to correct the running speed.

How do I set the pendulum in beat?

Setting a clock in beat involves listening to the evenly spaced tick-tock rhythm of the escapement as the pendulum swings. If the sound is uneven, gentle adjustment of the crutch arm behind the dial balances the tick until the rhythm is uniform.
