How do fusee movements work?

A fusee movement uses a conical pulley and a fine chain to regulate the pull of the mainspring. As the spring loses tension, the chain rides higher on the cone to maintain steady power. This clever engineering prevents the clock from losing or gaining time as it runs down between windings.

Where should I hang a dial clock?

Dial clocks suit hallways, kitchens and studies where clear visibility and straightforward timber cases complement the room. Choose a sturdy wall that avoids excessive vibrations from doors. Ensure the clock hangs at a comfortable eye level so winding and pendulum observation remain straightforward.
