Retired Clockmaker Offers Tips for Antique Clock Owners How the End...

Sunday, November 4th marks the end of Daylights Saving Time, and the good news is we all gain one well-deserved extra hour of sleep. Unfortunately the end of Daylights Saving Time will also mark the end of many fine clocks. Here are a few tips from a retired Clockmaker to owners of antique clocks.

While most modern mechanical clock movements contain safety features that permit the clocks hands to be gently moved forward or backward, many antique clocks can suffer sever damage from this simple activity. So what's an antique clock owner to do

- The minute hand can be advanced slowly on all mechanical clocks, with care being taken to stop and allow each chime, strike or cuckoo sequence to play completely.

- Another easy and probably the safest option for pendulum clocks is to stop the pendulum, allowing time to catch up with the time on the dial.

What should you do if despite all your best efforts your clock becomes damaged by the changing of the time

- Check your local phone directory for a clockmaker who is a member of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI), or visit http://clock-shop.blogspot.com
