How to adjust the clockwork
Your clock has been exactly adjusted in our workshop. The transport, the sea level and the
geographic latitude of the place where the clock is hung up may however lead to a variation
in the period of oscillation of the pendulum. You will therefore most probably have to adjust
your clock once again.
Please proceed as follows:
Caution!
In order not to twist the pendulum spring hold the pendulum bob during adjustment with
one hand.
Then turn the adjusting nut on the lower end of the pendulum to the left when the clock
is fast, i.e. to the right when the clock is slow.
After having watched the accuracy a couple of days you may readjust the clock.
Maintenance
As every other instrument of this kind your regulator also requires careful handling and
a certain degree of maintenance. We therefore advise you never to keep the clock case open
over a long period of time, in order to prevent dust from depositing on the clockwork.
After 10 years the latest you should entrust your pendulum clock to a competent clockmaker's
workshop in order to have the bearings cleaned and oiled anew. It will then untiringly do good
service over decades and will be passed on with pride from generation to generation as
a precious chronometer.
Please note, if you have to take out the movement
1. The weights have to run down complete
2. At first take out the weights, then the movement. Afterwards the pendulum and the scale.
For transportation, the movement is protected best when you put it back into the case. To
protect the back panel of the case from damage please save the pulleys (i.e. wrap with
foam). Please package the pendulum, the weights and the scale separately.
