Maintenance Tips
  • Perfect leveling required: Ensure clock is precisely vertical for stable pendulum swing and accurate triple chime timing.
  • Consistent winding routine: Wind at regular intervals to maintain smooth energy transfer and protect movement longevity.
  • Lubrication every 3–5 years: Use only premium clock oil to reduce friction and ensure long-term precision.
  • Dust protection: Keep movement and chime components clean for reliable operation and clear sound output.
  • Humidity control: Maintain dry, stable environment to prevent corrosion and wood movement distortion.
  • Chime system care: Check hammer alignment for clean strikes and balanced triple chime sequence.
  • Avoid overwinding: Stop at natural resistance—never force the winding key.
  • Professional servicing: Recommended every 5–7 years for cleaning, regulation, and full mechanical inspection
