Maintenance Tips
  • Ensure perfect leveling: Keep clock case precisely vertical for stable pendulum swing and accurate Westminster chime timing.
  • Consistent winding schedule: Wind regularly to maintain smooth power delivery and prevent mechanical strain.
  • Lubrication every 3–5 years: Use only premium clock oil to reduce friction and extend movement life.
  • Dust protection: Keep movement and chime components clean for reliable operation and clear sound output.
  • Humidity control: Maintain dry, stable environment to protect metal parts and wooden case components.
  • Chime system care (Westminster): Check hammer alignment for clean strike and balanced musical sequence.
  • Avoid overwinding: Stop at natural resistance—never force the winding key.
  • Professional servicing: Recommended every 5–7 years for full cleaning, regulation, and calibration.
