How do I operate the repeater mechanism?

Press the button or plunger located on the top of the case to activate the striking train. The movement will sound the last elapsed hour and quarters. Allow the strike sequence to finish completely before moving the clock or pressing the button again. Avoid forcing the plunger if resistance is felt.

How do I wind a carriage clock?

Insert the matching key into the appropriate square arbour on the floor or backplate of the movement. Turn the key gently until you feel firm resistance, indicating a full mainspring. Keep track of the winding intervals to ensure the timekeeping remains consistent. Do not overwind the springs, as this can cause internal damage.

Why does the clock run fast or slow?

The regulating lever visible on the platform escapement allows small adjustments to the rate. Move the pointer toward fast or slow according to the timekeeping deviation. Ensure the clock rests on a completely level surface to maintain an even beat. Fluctuations in room temperature can also influence the expansion of internal metal parts.
