How do I wind an antique clock?

Use the appropriate key on the winding squares located on the dial face, turning gently until you feel resistance. Avoid over-winding to protect the mainspring. Ensure you do not force the hands backward past the hour when setting the time on striking models.

What is a fusee movement?

A fusee is a conical drum inside the clock connected to a chain or cord that evens out the declining power of the mainspring. This keeps the force applied to the gear train constant. It is a sign of traditional horological craftsmanship found in better bracket and table clocks.

Where should I place my clock?

Position the clock on a stable, level surface such as a mantelpiece, shelf or heavy sideboard away from direct sunlight and drafts. A level base ensures the pendulum swings evenly. Wooden cases react to extreme changes in temperature and humidity, so stable room conditions are ideal.

How do I tell Victorian from Georgian clocks?

Georgian clocks from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries often feature distinct architectural mahogany bracket cases and verge movements. Victorian pieces from the mid to late nineteenth century frequently utilise marble, slate or heavily carved walnut. Dial styles, cabinet proportions and maker signatures also help indicate the period of manufacture.
