The next time it gongs multiple times turn the hour hand clockwise until it is pointing at the number of times it gonged. Next take off the dial nut off (make sure to put it in a plastic bag because they can be hard to replace) and turn the minute hand until it strikes once. Now put the minute hand back on pointing to 6 o'clock and replace your dial nut and you are all set. Fix Clock That Gongs Wrong

If the clock is a mechanical clock there are 2 ways it can be fixed. You need to take the hands off the clock and gently replace the hour hand to the hour it strikes/chimes replace the minute hand and then gently clockwise ONLY move the minute hand to each hour letting it strike/chime the hour it is on. If this does not work there is another way and you can email me Yvonne. [email protected] for more information. Mechanical clocks only.

Strausbourg manor quartz Westminster mantel clock. Why did it stop chiming?

Source: Wikipedia

The full hour chime is followed by one strike for the number of the hour by Big Ben (E3) (one strike for one o'clock, two strikes for two o'clock, and so on). ... The mechanism then plays two complete sets of five sequences for each complete hour.

Learn how to fix a mantel clock that chimes at the wrong hour. This simple fix will repair a clock that chimes at the wrong time. This can commonly occur when your mantel clock is laid down on its back and the timing is offset.

1 Thing You Have to Understand First On most clocks you can turn the minute hand counter-clockwise but SOME clocks are not safe to be turned in that direction. For this reason, it's best to only turn your minute hand clockwise just to be safe.

The Simple Mantel Clock Adjustment The easiest way to adjust a mantel clock chime is to move the hour hand to the hour that the chime is striking. Make sure that the hour hand shaft is not too tight or else it will not turn. Most mantel clock hands are friction held. DO NOT BEND YOUR HOUR HAND, loosen the shaft if it will not turn freely.
Once you have synchronized the hour hand with the hourly chime, adjust the minute hand to set the clock to the correct time by moving it forward (clockwise) around the clock face. Allow the chime to strike at every quarter hour strike.
Mantel clock Chime Adjustment When your mantel clock chimes the wrong number of times, your chime is not synchronized time of the clock. To adjust your mantel clock chime, proceed with the following step:

ADJUSTING THE HOURLY CHIME

  1. When your mantel clock chimes, count the number of times it chimes. This is what time your hourly striker is set to.
  2. Move the hour hand to the hour indicated by the hourly chime (count the number of gongs at the hour).
  3. Reset the time using the minute hand to the correct hour and the chime should adjust along with the clock hands as well.

ADJUSTING THE QUARTER CHIME

On most mantel clocks, you can simple remove the minute hand which is friction fit. You have to apply pressure on the tube and it will loosen. Once removed, re-install the minute hand at the correct time. From there you can rotate the minute hand to reset the time.

How do I coordinate hour chime with actual time in my Seth Thomas Plymouth Hollow shelf clock? The chime is 4 hours behind the actual time: when the clock says it's 8, the chime sounds 4 times.

Sounds like someone moved the hour hand! Put the hour hand back by gently turning it to the correct hour determined by the number of gongs, and always turn the minute hand only to set the time.

I have an estate mantel clock that has started to chime on the 1/2 hr as opposed to the hour. it is chiming the correct time.

It could take an horologist a while to sort out why it suddenly changed. It isn't unusual for a chiming clock to chime at the quarters and half-hour as well as chiming and striking the hour. A quality clock usually allows the manner of chiming/striking to be selected and sometimes even the volume can be altered.

If your clock used to chime and strike the hour and now doesn't and appears to have slipped by exactly 30 minutes clearly something is happening. In the old days such things were often the result of turning the hands backwards to reset the time - that type of clock should be reset only by turning the hands forward and pausing at each quarter, half and hour to allow the chiming of each to complete. Most folk simply stop their clocks and wait for time to catch up...

It is also reckoned such a clock should not be kept next to an exterior wall but rather in a place where the temperature and humidity is the most stable.

I have a Waltham Regulator Wall clock. It chimes 4 minutes late on the hour and 1/2 hour. How do I adjust it to chime on the hour and 1/2 hour? I've tried moving the minute hand with no luck.

Try this,remove batteries,set clock to 6 o'clock,reinstall batteries,then clock should chime,turn adjuster till you are at the right time,make sure your on am or pm,it doesn't chime at 10 pm- 5 am,so that will tell you if your at am or pm.When adjusting it will chime everytime you go past the hour.You can never go backwards,if you do then you will need to remove batteries and start over,use your phone's time to set.

After spot cleaning mantle clock with German movement (circa 1960), the clock chimes properly on the hour but does not chime on the half hour.

I am hoping that you oiled it also? One trick I have found is to gently lift the hammers and release, sometimes the hammers will release and strike the chimes/gong. Do this 4-5 times and hopefully it will get it chiming for you again.

I inherited a Seiko Westminster chime clock. The time is perfect but the hourly chimes are 3 hours behind. How can I synchronize the two?

The next time it gongs multiple times turn the hour hand clockwise until it is pointing at the number of times it gonged. Next take off the dial nut off (make sure to put it in a plastic bag because they can be hard to replace) and turn the minute hand until it strikes once. Now put the minute hand back on pointing to 6 o'clock and replace your dial nut and you are all set.

How do i synchronize chimes with clock on westminister whittington clock .

The Westminster/ Whittington clock means that it has 2 or 3 settings.
1. Silent
2. Westminster Based on the music My redeemer liveth by Handel
3. Whittington
Set the clock onto the westminster setting, this is the easiest. At quarter past the hour it should sound 4 notes. The half past should be 8 notes. Quarter to the hour should be 12 notes and the hour should be 16 notes then the striking of the hour. For example on 8 'O clock you should hear 16 notes then the clock should chime 8 times. Sometimes if the hour is out just gently stop the pendulum, check what hour the clock is striking then without taking the hands off move only the hour hand to the hour. Do not do this with the minute hand.
I hope this helps you! If you are not sure please email me [email protected] I fix these clocks.
