Clock Maintenance
A mechanical clock movement, like other motors, needs service on a regular schedule. Without proper cleaning and oiling; the life of the movement is reduced due to wear.
Floor clocks should be cleaned and oiled at least every 3 years. Mantle and wall clocks should be oiled at least every 3 to 5 years. Regular oiling is critical to the clocks ability to keep time and run properly. Over time dust and debris can work its way into moving parts and lodge in the gears, creating a powerful abrasive that wears away at the movement (just like in your car’s engine). This will eventually cause the clock to slow, and then malfunction.
If you feel confident in maintaining and oiling your own timepiece, please make sure when oiling that a proper oil is used. This can be purchased in our clock service center. Never use spray lubricants like wd-40 on clocks. Clock oil is a particular consistency, and specially blended not to break down during the long term lubrication that clocks need. We are happy to share advice as well!
