How do I wind a carriage clock?

Use the matching key on the winding arbors located on the backplate of the movement. Turn gently until you feel firm resistance, taking care not to overwind the mainspring. Most nineteenth-century movements run for approximately eight days on a full wind. Ensure the clock is placed on a level surface before setting the time.

What is a repeating carriage clock?

A repeater contains an extra set of gongs and hammers that sound the last elapsed hour and quarter-hour when you press the button on top of the case. This allowed travellers to hear the time at night without lighting a candle. The mechanism requires careful adjustment during restoration to ensure the strike sequence matches the position of the hands.

How do I date a brass carriage clock?

Examine the style of the case, the typography of the dial, and any signatures or registration marks stamped on the backplate. The pieces on this page primarily date from the 1870s through to 1900. Stylistic shifts from plain polished brass to ornate enamel paintings and gilded bronze panels help narrow the decade of production.

Where should I place a carriage clock?

Position your clock on a stable, vibration-free mantelpiece, desk, or table away from direct sunlight and damp conditions. A level surface is essential for the balance wheel and escapement to beat evenly. Because these are heavy brass and glass objects, keep them away from table edges where they might be easily knocked.
