Maintaining your clock’s movement is essential to ensure it continues to function properly and extends its lifespan. Regular servicing reduces wear and tear, ultimately preserving the clock’s functionality. Ideally, most clocks should undergo servicing every three to five years to maximize…

Lessons learned from 10 years of clock collecting, repair, and restoration

Ten years have flown by very quickly. Just the other day I was cleaning a clock I serviced over 5 1/2 years ago and it struck me that I have been at this for over 10 years and loving it. Three years into the hobby I decided to begin blogging and have been at it for close to 7 years. I love blogging and it helps me gauge my progress as I explore new avenues of clock collecting, repair, and…

Chauncey Jerome 30-hour movement – two unusual issues during servicing

I was not really looking for an ogee clock to add to my collection. But there it was sitting in a lonely corner of an antique shop calling me, “buy me”; and I did. It is probably the oldest one in my collection of 4 other ogee clocks. It was made in or about 1845. Now, being old does not necessarily make it valuable. In fact, millions of these clocks were produced and many found their way to…

Made of synthetic material. For efficient work, the strength (magnification) of the eyeglass must be adapted to each individual job. A reliable magnification should be used for ordinary work, this avoids eyestrain! Eyeglasses with a high degree of magnification are to be used for limited periods only. As you will see, our eyeglasses are available different strengths; you can thus choose the one that suits you best. As these glasses are inexpensive, we would advise you to keep a set giving different degrees of magnification.

Forestville mantel clock servicing – not fun when things go wrong! Part II

The face of Forestville bim-bam clock

Back in October (2020), I wrote about the challenges of working on this mantel clock by Forestville.
