Maintenance Tips
  • Perfect leveling required: Keep clock case precisely vertical for stable pendulum swing and accurate triple chime timing.
  • Consistent winding schedule: Wind regularly to maintain smooth power delivery and protect gear train integrity.
  • Lubrication every 3–5 years: Use only high-quality clock oil to reduce friction and extend movement life.
  • Dust protection: Keep movement and chime components clean for reliable performance and clear sound.
  • Humidity control: Maintain dry, stable environment to prevent corrosion and protect wooden and brass components.
  • Chime system care: Check hammer alignment for clean strike and balanced triple chime sequence.
  • Avoid overwinding: Stop at natural resistance—never force the winding key.
  • Professional servicing: Recommended every 5–7 years for full cleaning, adjustment, and precision calibration.
