Very informative thank you. I acquired one recently but it doesn't seem to work so I had hoped for some details on mechanics and maintenance. I shall dig deeper into youtube!
But you should wind the clock at least 2 days before it runs out of energy Because according to Master clock, maxium energy will keep the clock runs critically
i love carriage watch too, but unfortunately my watch is broken, the movement lost the hairspring and i do not have anyone for repair it. You may help me?
If you can coax the balance into oscilating again, the clock will simply start running on its own. Strictly speaking, though, there is no such thing as an 'Overwound Clock'. A clock can only exist in two states: Wound, or unwound. If it's "overwound" that means you've broken the mainspring and winding gear. And that takes a lot of force, because it means breaking the entire gear-train. If coaxing the clock into working again doesn't yield any results, then you'll need to take it to a clockmaker. Because it means the clock's oil has dried up and it won't run as a result, due to the friction.
It depends on how complicated it is. Time-only clocks in good condition sell for like, $250 - $400. If it has an alarm, if it strikes, if it has a minute-repeater, they can go for thousands.
@@rever-mi6qz the clocks with alarms, with minute repeaters, or strike the hours and quarters, etc, (grand soneries, etc), cost a considerable amount. $1,000+, is not uncommon.
