Why does the clock strike the wrong hour?

The strike train may have slipped out of sequence during transport or handling. This occurs if the hands are moved incorrectly. Allow the strike to run down or advance the minute hand carefully past the hour to resynchronise the count.

Where should I place a carriage clock at home?

Position the piece on a stable, level surface away from direct sunlight, draughts, and sudden temperature shifts. Mantelpieces and side tables suit the glass panels well. A firm foundation ensures the pendulum or balance wheel maintains a steady beat for accurate timekeeping.

How do I tell an English strike carriage clock from a French one?

English pieces often house fusee movements inside heavier wooden or brass cases, whilst French examples predominantly utilise platform escapements and spring barrels in gilt brass frames. Examining the back plate and movement layout generally reveals the origin of the craftsmanship.
