I wind one of my howard miller clocks in this video. This clock has a 7 day movement which needs to be wound once a week. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this clock in the comments, I'll do my best to reply to you as soon as possible.

Probably one of the nicest in your collection.

@Jamestube8439 2 жыл бұрын

One of my favorites. Whenever I move into an apartment I obviously can't bring all of my clocks, but this one will probably come with me.

neat video! the chimes remind me of the worthington.

Thanks, and yeah it's very similar to it.

Telling us how to know when to stop winding would be good to add in the video.

@Jamestube8439 28 күн бұрын

When the key stops turning. When it's wound to it's max, the key won't be able to turn anymore.

I picked up a Howard Miller wind up clock, but it doesn't have a pendulum, starts and runs automatically when wound. It has gained about 5 minutes, and since there is no pendulum I can stop until it is in sync with the actual time, will it damage the clock to move the minute hand counter clockwise (backwards) by 5 minutes? I've always been told never to move clock hands backwards. I really don't want to manually move the hands clockwise 12 hours to get it to the correct time. Thanks... John

Yeah you can move the hands backwards. I do it all the time on my clocks. Some clocks however should not be moved backwards. Based on your situation you should be fine

Which wind is which ?

@Jamestube8439 8 ай бұрын

Middle is the power to the clock, I believe the left is the hour strike and the right one is the melody I believe.

Hey! I just got this clock and it's dead. How do I get it working once its wound (assuming it's not totally dead!) Thanks!

@Jamestube8439 11 ай бұрын

The mechanism may need to be oiled and/or cleaned. I recommend purchasing a clock oil to lube it. There are some good videos on KZfaq to watch to show you how to oil your clock.

Does this clock have a tick tock to it. I don't hear anything after winding mine. On the right side of the face i have 4 settings. Not sure what they are used for. Can you be of any further assistance. Thanks in advance.

@Jamestube8439 Ай бұрын

It does tick, just very quietly. The 4 settings are probably for changing chime melody. I’m guessing one is for silent and the other 3 saying something like West Minster, St Michael, and Wittington

@roberta19348 Ай бұрын

After further investigation I've come to realize the top horizontal gear is not spinning. I'm going to do a thorough cleaning like in the video you provided and take it from there. Thank u so much for your prompt response.

Do you wind till it stops or just until you feel it tighten?

@Jamestube8439 Жыл бұрын

I typically wind it until it doesn't let me turn the key anymore, there are a couple of my clocks that I prefer only winding it until I feel it getting tight.

How do you silence the clock ?

@Jamestube8439 Жыл бұрын

There's a switch on the left side of the clock, when the switch is down, the clock is silenced. When it is in the up position, the clock chimes every 15 minutes.

There’s a switch on the left side of the clock face that says silence/chime. Pull the switch down and it will silence the clock.

What is the role of each key?

@Jamestube8439 11 ай бұрын

The middle does the power to keep the time, the left does the hour strike chime, and the right does the melody chimes.

@@Jamestube8439 Tks! Can I just wind the middle one but not winding the other two? can it have effect of being a silient clock

@maryallisoncox 10 ай бұрын

The middle hole to wind will not wind tight, it just keeps winding and the holes on either end are wound tight … so it’s not wkn at all … it was brand new when I took it out of the package, so it does not have any dust or dirt

@Jamestube8439 10 ай бұрын

That’s strange. I wonder if the middle hole is connected properly to the spring to give it that winding power

@maryallisoncox 10 ай бұрын

Idk .. but it worked fine for a day .. I hadn’t moved it or anything

@maryallisoncox 10 ай бұрын

Think it’s because I wound all 3 of them again on the second or 3td day ? I didn’t know how often you were supposed to wind them, so I just wound them again just enough to get it slightly tight. And they were all three fine at this point….. then it just stopped working, and I realized that the middle just kept going round and round and never would tighten

I also just bought one of these at a thrift store. It is missing the key also. How do I know which key to buy as a replacement? The clock is a Howard Miller Westminster Chime mantel style. The numbers on the back side of the clock are AEL01 Zeeland Michigan. Made in Germany. I’m hoping you can help me find the correct size key 😀
