My clock loses time.
Please keep in mind that the timekeeping of this antique reproduction mechanical clock is not as accurate as a battery operated clock. Timekeeping may change with temperature flucutation and may gain or lose 2-5 minutes a day. This is normal and can be adjusted using the above methods. If these do not solve the problem, see below:
  • Is the clock hanging level?
  • Is the clock hanging near air vents, open doors or windows? Blowing air may stop the clock.
  • Did you force the hands counter-clockwise past the 12 position? This will cause the hands to be loose and, as stated on the original instructions, void the warranty.
