How do I wind an eight day clock?

Winding involves inserting a key into the winding holes on the dial face and turning it slowly until the weights reach their upper limit near the top of the trunk. Care must be taken not to overwind the mechanism, stopping as soon as resistance increases to prevent damage to the brass arbors and cords.

Where should I place a longcase clock?

These clocks require a stable, dry interior wall away from direct sunlight, central heating vents, and exterior doors where temperature fluctuations might affect the wood and movement. Positioning the case on a level floor ensures the pendulum swings evenly and the escapement maintains an accurate beat.

How do I set the correct time?

The minute hand is gently moved clockwise to the correct hour, allowing the strike train to complete its sequence on the hour and half-hour marks. Moving the hands backwards should be avoided unless specified by the mechanism design, as this can jam the striking gears.

What maintenance do these movements need?

Periodic cleaning and lubrication by a qualified horologist prevents old oils from gumming up the brass wheels and wearing down the steel pivots. Dust accumulation inside the hood is minimised by keeping the glass door closed and ensuring the trunk fits securely against the wall.
