What is a fusee movement?

A fusee movement uses a conical pulley connected to the mainspring by a chain or cord. This clever arrangement compensates for the diminishing power of the spring as it unwinds. By evening out the force delivered to the gear train, the clock maintains consistent accuracy throughout its running period.

Where were these clocks placed?

Bracket clocks sat on wooden wall brackets or heavy furniture surfaces in principal rooms, while smaller drop-dial clocks hung on walls in hallways and offices. Longcase clocks stood upright in stairwells or main rooms to serve the entire household. Each format suited the spatial and architectural demands of the domestic interior during the period.

How do I wind a bracket clock?

Winding requires inserting a small key into the winding holes on the dial face to tension the mainspring via the fusee mechanism. Care must be taken not to overwind the movement. Most traditional fusee clocks require winding once every week to maintain continuous operation.
