A grandfather clock, or longcase clock, is a tall, freestanding timepiece with a pendulum and often chimes that strike the hour. It typically features a wooden case and is powered by weights or a spring.
Grandfather clocks need to be wound once a week.
Insert the winding key into the hole and turn clockwise until you feel resistance. Repeat for the time, chime, and strike winding points.
Westminster Chime: sounding the melody of the famous Westminster Abbey clock.
Whittington Chime: A different melody, often used for clocks with multiple chime options.
St. Michael Chime: A more dramatic chime melody.
Bim-Bam Chime: A simpler chime, typically with only one or two notes per hour.
With proper maintenance, a well-made grandfather clock can last for many decades or even centuries. Regular servicing and careful handling will ensure that it runs smoothly for years.
