How do I wind my clock?

Use the matching key on the winding squares located at the back of the movement. Turn steadily until you feel resistance, taking care not to overwind the mainspring. Keep the key in a safe place away from the mechanism to ensure you do not lose it, as original keys hold distinct collector value.

Why does the clock strike the wrong hour?

The striking train can get out of sequence if the hands are moved backwards or if the clock runs down while striking. Let the mechanism complete its sequence without forcing the components. Advance the minute hand slowly forward past the hours, allowing the strike to finish fully at each interval until it matches the time displayed on the dial.

Where should I place a carriage clock?

Position the piece on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight and draughts. Heavy mantel clocks require a sturdy shelf or sideboard to support their weight. Avoid high-moisture rooms like kitchens or bathrooms, as humidity can tarnish polished brass and degrade delicate enamel dials over time.

What is the difference between carriage and mantel clocks?

Carriage clocks are smaller, portable timekeepers housed in brass and glass with folding top handles designed for travel. Mantel clocks are larger, heavier stationary pieces made from marble, slate, or wood. Both utilise similar spring-driven eight-day movements, but carriage clocks often feature visible escapements through glass panels on all four sides.
