you open another your clock mechine.. this time make sure to take a photo first

New printer coming next week. Review in 7 days. I was in the wireless business for a long time. Good crystals don’t go bad easily. Interested in what you find. Thanks for watching.

I went back and looked at the last two years of the arch repairs. Almost every quartz watch failed from a drop or water damage. Interesting note I never put to memory.

mine was simply glued to the clock. I had to twist it around and it eventually went off

I’m in the same situation!! Everything seems to be moving perfectly…..minus the hands lol

You either have a hand that is pressure fit or one with a small nut. Use the setting wheel in back to move the hour hand to 3:00. Then check to see if you need to push down carefully on the minute hand. If there is a small nut, turn the nut clockwise to tighten down the hand

@@watchesandjewelry I pushed down on the minute hand & that fixed it! Wow! I wonder why this happened. Thank you!

Rodico. It’s like silly putty

Handles? Did you mean hands

Sounds as though the gears in the clock are wearing out. I would strongly recommend a new replacement movement. Look on the back for a number on the movement itself. Also, if you replace it yourself, make sure that you get the movement that fits the hands of the clock you have. Some hands are keyed (notched) Some are round.

Hahahahahhahaha

No Brasil chama RODICO

Clock parts can be purchase from timesavers. Look them up online. Good selection

It depends. If you have access to the hands you just pull them off vertically and gently. If you can't access the hands from the front you usually have to remove some screws on the back side. This will then allow you to remove the glass or plastic and access the hands. The movement is usually held in place by some plastic molded in clips. You gently move then to the side (one side at a time) to release the movement. Then you follow this video.

Well... This sounds like one of my favorite seiko watches I bought in the mid 80s... Although I know, seiko and citizen make watches with alarms today... If, for some reason your watch stops any alert tones i.e. melodies, alarms ect... and is older then six years, you will be hard pressed to find a working replacement. (Yes, occasionally, they show up on ebay, but rarely). If it is newer, i.e. within 1 to 5 years old, I would suggest sending it back to seiko directly or with an authorized servicer. These movements are not typically available direct to most watch service locations, and almost never directly to the end user. Seiko has an extensive retail foothold. I would find a local seiko dealer (small shop, not chain) to help you... Just keep in mind, older watches go out of production, and parts become difficult to get.

Now... As far as the melody clocks... We stopped selling them when you could buy them for cost at Sam's club. Seiko does not repair them. If the clock is in warranty... One year old or newer, they will replace it direct. If not, they will tell you to buy a new one... (the reason I do not work with seiko clocks any longer)

Get drunk

Sure. What seems to be the issue with it

It suddenly stopped working. It has a second hand that started to jitter then it stopped altogether.

If it is an older mechanical movement I would have to see it. Newer versions are quartz and only se a variety of movements. If newer and a battery did not work to get the clock up and running then a new movement would be recommended. Cost to service a mechanical clock is approximately 170.00 but may be higher if there are major parts replaced. Battery versions may be around 45.00 to 60.00 for a new clock movement.

@@watchesandjewelry IThe movement is battery (N) operated quartz. It has a second hand too. Would it help if I sent pictures? The new movement will it be Swiss, German or China made? The original movement says Swiss Made.

Last question. Is there a model number on the clock or the movement or both if different

Do you know why the chime will not sound on my quartz battery operated clock? I hear the 'click' sound at the top if the hour but the chime does not sound. What do you think the problem is? The click keeps good time. Thank you!

Quartz chime clocks have one major flaw in most of them. If you reset the time by turning the hands counter clockwise, you run the risk of bending or breaking the internal mechanism that the clock uses to make the electronic connection to set off the chime. Once that happens, it usually isn’t worth fixing. Most manuals, if the clock included one specify exactly how to set the time. Almost always, using the setting knob in the back of the clock and turning it clockwise. This is a perfect o Ken I have seen for many years, especially in the fall when we set clocks back one hour.

@@watchesandjewelry yikes. So easy to break it!

It has been a while, but here goes. That little metal cylinder contains a quartz crystal tuning fork that oscillates at 32,768 times per second. That is 2 to the 15th power oscillations per second. That is divided down by 2 in a silicon chip 15 times, which gives you one pulse per second. that same chip has a logic circuit that produces a pulse only when the last few divide stages are all in the same state. So you get one narrow pulse each second. That drives the coil of a stepping motor, i.e. a motor that moves one step per pulse. From there it is all gears to slow down enough to drive the second hand, then the minute hand and finally the hour hand.

I’ve got a Takane doing the same. 2nd one that failed after the first battery died.

Sorry to say that if you have a quartz clock with a pendulum that doesn’t work, you will have to replace it. It is usually due to worn moving parts that causes misalignment

@@watchesandjewelry Wow, thank you so much, Peter! I purchased a really cool "Panerai" wall clock (over $200) that just arrived today, which has a "Gürgen Bålsche" 5820 caliber quartz movement, and it's operation is very poor. I'm hoping I didn't somehow strip a gear when setting it. But your video is a life saver, and thank you so much for helping us mere mortals!

@@watchesandjewelry Thank you for this information. I looked it up and it is very pricey, at $35.95 for 2 ml. Are there any other options?

If your quartz clock is running too fast then it will need to be replaced. There is an electronic issue with the pulse and not practical to repair.

Rodico. Used is the watch and Jewelry industry.

@@watchesandjewelry thank you!

fartwrangler i have a cuckoo clock movement battery operated that stop operating, not cheap as a general movement clock price

Yes, replacing is preferably to servicing when it works, but not all movements are the same. The diameters of the shafts may vary between movements, with the net result that the old clock's hands won't fit. Too small a hole diameter in the hand may bind the concentric shafts together and then the clock won't run. Some movements have a threaded shaft surrounding the shafts for the hands, and some don't. The shafts stick out further on some movements than on others.

Plastic oil is oil specifically designed to lubricate plastic parts

@@watchesandjewelry thank you! :)

You’re welcome. Take care

First I would check hands. Make sure the hour hand isn’t touching something on dial. Next I would take the clock apart to see if there is debris inside.

Tnx for the quick response Pete! If you tap on the clock it starts working again... But when the arm for the seconds comes @nr1 then it stops ticking. When you tap the clock it starts again... 😂 I'll check tomorrow of there's some debris inside!

How big is the clock? Large clocks with long hands. Say more then 12 inches can sometimes wear a clock movement out. In which case they would need a high torque movement

Is the gear broken?

Peter Grande nope. the teeth are complete and it has strong magnetism too.

So. If it is not broken and if you have cleaned it it should work. If not then replacing the clock movement is the best bet

Hey Pete what oil do you use?

Check with your local jeweler to see if they have repair experience with clocks and watches on site. Most jewelry stores send them out. Some repair everything on site.

@@watchesandjewelry thank you! They do!!

If it’s battery operated I imagine that the gears are broken. If mechanical then it will need to be taken apart are repaired.

Yes send plz
