Not a bad clock, the best ones are from Germany the Hac/junghans and the Kienzel which have the full westminster, these were made in the later end of the 1800 upto the start of the second ww2 in the 1940's its not so much the look of the clock it is the workings and chime rods, My wall clock was bought by my great grandmother and it has been passed down to me from my grandmother, the clock which I was given is a Hac Westminster in dark wood casing, I have it serviced every 5 years as I live in a victorian house which has open coal fires in the living room and dining room and there is dust which comes from the fires when we clean them out, We have had the clock dated and the clock movement was made in 1902 and it keeps good time, like everything old and new it gains 5 minuets and looses 5 minuets, what makes the clock is the chime its a very deep sonorous chime and it commands respect when it chimes as you have to look up to it to make sure its right
With the exception of perhaps Sligh, they really don't make them like the used to in terms of sound. Some of the modern clocks have an almost music box like sound to them. One of my favorite, deep chimes comes from the Dufa Longcase clocks, hard to find but sound fantastic: czcams.com/video/F11AbGDwP6E/video.html
I have the 1st one. I shut off the chime.. I like the 2nd one for the chime but can't sleep next to it like I can the 1st one. These clocks are wicked expensive!
I was lucky enough to find one at a yard sale for $25.00 It looks new, works great, sounds good. I keep downstairs in the living room area to not disturb the Sleeping area upstairs bedrooms. I am so glad I purchased them because they were expensive; I do NOT think the sellers knew what they had.
I'm not sure what you mean by "turn up the volume" since this is a mechanical clock (it has no speaker). On some mechanical clocks, there is a small pull tab under the clock face you can pull. On others there is a tab right on the clock face that says "silence." If you have none of these options, there is another trick: Place your fingers behind the number 3 on the clock face, there is a small hidden bar that can be pulled down. This will prevent the chime rods from moving. This will silence the clock.
How often does it need to be wound? I purchased one from a website, almost like this one. What are the 3 springs for...particularly the middle one? Thanks!
Typically, once every 7 days. One spring is for the time, one for the chime at the top of the hour (the dong noise) and another for the melody. Each has a different movement that needs "powered."
Pendulum Station has a good point, but to be more specific, the right key hole is for the chime, the left key hole is for the hourly strike, and the middle one is for the time. Clocks like this one have eight-day movements, and like Pendulum Station said, these need to be wound once a week.
@@PendulumStation I have actually turned the hands counter-clockwise many times and it did not harm the mechanism at all! But there are some clocks that are not safe to turn the hands back in or will harm the mechanism
Generally speaking not very often unless you live in the Desert. They should be oiled every 1-2 years (I usually oil once a year). A cleaning should be done every 5 years but I've seen some clocks go 20-30 years without ever being cleaned. Worst case, the gears will become dirty which wears them down faster. At some point, they'll need to be replaced which can expensive (unless you learn to do it yourself).
What a beautiful clock!
We have the exact same clock. Received it new as a wedding gift in 1998.
So this clock was made in the 90s
@@itsasmallworldtake3gamepla63it’s still made today
My grandma on my fathers side had a wall clock brought by the same brand and had that EXACT sounding chime!
MallGuy89
Is that a Westmont model?
The clock was a Howard Miller 613-231 Pembrook model.
MallGuy89
Even after 2 years you reply wow
@@mallguy8970 Hey! How's your wall clock going?
We had a doorbell like that when I was little.
Cool
.75x speed is actually the speed of the chime of my grandmas old wall clock. The chime is the same.
Was it a Howard Miller?
@@chicken1826 Yes
Beautiful
This clock was made in the early 90’s.
I have a Howard Miller regulator I saved from the junkyard, it’s quite rare to as I only found 2 references to the model
Same sound as the Howard Miller Stalden 620-166!

0:59 you can hear other Westminster chimes on the clock
My wall clock is wounded up tight, or I can't wind it because it won't move. Can it be fixed?
I want to know the same thing.
If I could only buy it in 2x speed
Shaun Actually I would buy it in 1.25x speed
How to fix this clock to make it work? We just bought ours from estate and the legs moved faster or slowly sometimes they don’t move at all.
0:25 the hour chime sounds a bit like a piano.

Nice clock.
Do you know how to turn up the volume and turn off the chimes?

Alanna de Vlugt ,if you want to turn chime off don’t wind chime
How do I get this thing started

@@tristangardner3889 can you run the clock by just winding the middle if you don’t want to listen to it chime
Is this model the Alcott? It has a wonderful chime to it.
It is :) Thank You!
What is the model number for this clock?
613-229
@@gearzclocks1070 It is the Alcott model.
We need to change the time. How do we do that?
Finger on the dial and spin. Clockwise only. Wait between chimes.
