Basics On A Grandfather Clock Regulation

By Brian Parker


The most important thing in a watch is its movement which mainly controls timekeeping, the hour strike, and the chime. The pendulums, as well as the, weighs, are also vital gadgets in the grandfather clock regulation. Usually, the pendulum gives one the ability to control and adjust time therefore if the pendulum is adjusted well, accurate timekeeping can be achieved very easily.

Normally, three weights are used to provide power to hour strike, time and chime which are the left, center and right weights respectively. These weights are important when operating the watch hence it is mandatory that they are present. Each weight is different, and they must be properly hanged to ensure that the watch operation is good.

Usually, cables or chains are used for hanging the weights during the movement, and it is mandatory to raise them after exactly one week to ensure that the watch keeps working. Hammers are used to hitting various rod lengths to make the strike as well as the chime to produce sounds. These rods make sounds that are different, and this is achieved by controlling how the hammers hit corresponding rods.

Therefore, a person must be aware of the components of a wristwatch and their corresponding uses so that he/she can be in a position to control and regulate the watch. The wristwatch should be firmly placed on the floor to prevent it from falling over. Therefore, the levers must be adjusted properly to ensure maximum stability as well as proper alignment.

After stabilizing the watch, hanging pendulums is the next thing. Make sure that you hang them well so that they do not fall. Before that, you have to remove the plastic film that protects the pendulum then carefully remove the disk. Make sure that you have followed all the guidelines without any additions or subtractions if you want your watch to work.

Once you finish hanging all the pendulums, this is time to put the weights in place as well. Make sure that you have checked whether they are assembled tightly and in the proper order. To add on that, make sure that the cables have been correctly put in their cable pulleys before you proceed to hang the weights.

If the watch has more features like a moving moon dial, you can set it as well. This can be done by applying some pressure to the front part of the moon dial using your fingers. You then have to rotate the dial clockwise if the moon dial fails to rotate, you can try to set it again after six hours. You should not force the dial as it is supposed to move freely.

Once you have set the moon dial, you can now proceed to set the time. It is important to note that the hour hand is not supposed to be moved. Therefore, move the minute hand and the hour hand will move automatically. Also, when the hands are striking, avoid moving them then start the already regulated watch.
