How often should I wind my clock?

These eight day movements require winding approximately once a week using a matching key. Winding them on a consistent day helps maintain regular timekeeping accuracy. Take care not to overwind the mainspring when the resistance increases near the end of the winding cycle. Stop turning the key the moment you feel firm resistance.

Where should I place a marble clock?

Marble and slate mantel clocks are exceptionally heavy and require a sturdy, level surface such as a fireplace mantel or a strong sideboard. Placing them securely prevents accidental tipping. Ensure the surface does not experience vibrations from heavy foot traffic or slamming doors, which can interfere with the delicate balance of the pendulum.

How do I tell a carriage clock from a mantel clock?

Carriage clocks are compact, portable timepieces enclosed in brass frames with glass panels on all sides and a small carrying handle on top. They were originally designed for travel. Mantel clocks are larger, heavier stationary pieces made from stone, slate, or wood. They rely on internal pendulums rather than the platform escapements found in carriage clocks.

What causes a clock to run fast or slow?

Variations in temperature, age, and the position of the regulating index on the movement can alter the speed of the clock. Small adjustments to the regulation arm bring the timing back to accuracy. Ensure the clock sits completely level on its shelf, as an uneven stance causes the beat of the escapement to become irregular and affects the timekeeping.
