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.

There are usually three weights located on the left side, center and right side which control the hour strike, the time and chime or melody respectively. The importance of the weights is in the proper operation of the watch hence they have to be present. More so, the weights differ in some ways, and they should be hanged well so that the time will run well.

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.

It is thus necessary that a person is in the know of all the components of the grandfather clock as well as the uses of each of the components for them to be able to regulate it. The wristwatch is supposed to be firmly placed on the ground so that it does not fall over. Hence, it is advisable to adjust all the levers to ensure that the watch is stable and aligned well.

Once the watch is stable, the pendulums should be hanged in position. These pendulums are usually having a colored protective film made from plastic to protect the disk. One should remove the disk carefully before hanging the pendulum. Ensure that you follow the procedure to avoid ruining the delicate pendulum which is necessary for the operation of the watch-wrist.

After you have hanged all pendulums, putting the weights in their correct positions should be the next thing. Make a point of checking the assembly of the weights to ensure that they have been tightly packed. On top of that, check that the cables are correctly fitted to their pulleys. After this, you can now hang your weights on the pulleys.

In case your watch has additional features such as a moon dial that is moving, ensure that you have set it well. You can do this by using fingers to put little pressure on the front side. Then, rotate the moon dial in the clockwise direction and the event it refuses to rotate, do not force it. You can try again after a few hours.

Once the moon dial is set, setting time is now done. You should be aware that when setting time, the hand that should be moved is the minute one. The hour hand is supposed to move when the minute hand moves, and it does this automatically. You can then start watching when the regulation is complete.
