How do I wind a carriage clock safely?

Use the dedicated winding key inserted into the arbour at the back of the case, turning it gently clockwise until resistance is felt. Avoid over winding, as this can strain the mainspring. Ensure the clock is standing on a flat, stable surface before operating the movement or adjusting the hands.

What is the difference between a library clock and a carriage clock?

Library clocks are generally larger, heavier desk timepieces housed in wooden or architectural glass cases, often driven by fusee movements. Carriage clocks are smaller, portable designs intended for travel, featuring integrated folding handles and platform escapements. Both styles utilise protective glass panels but serve different domestic contexts.

How do I clean the glass panels on my clock?

Wipe the glass gently with a soft, lint free microfibre cloth slightly dampened with a mild glass cleaning solution. Spray the liquid onto the cloth rather than directly onto the case to prevent moisture reaching the brass or movement. Take care around bevelled edges and engraved brass fittings.

Why does my four glass clock stop running?

Stoppages often occur if the clock is resting on an uneven surface, which disrupts the delicate balance of the pendulum or platform escapement. Ensure the piece sits level and that the beat is properly adjusted. Older movements may also require professional cleaning and lubrication to remove hardened oils from the gear train.
