  • Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Here's a video of winding the D&A Waltham wall clock. Since the making of this video, I had to wind the clock a few weeks after I took this video and unfortunately as I winding the running power, something snapped and the clock broke. So as of now, the clock does not run anymore, I will try to get it fixed at some point. (Who knows when that will be) Definitely sad to see it break, it's a nice clock.

    I found a Meiji clock yesterday at an estate sale for $35 dollars. A man was standing behind me waiting for me to talk away, then I googled how much they were and they were pricing in the hundreds. I took it off the wall and crushed his hopes of getting it. It looks really good to my vintage decor in my house and it works perfectly fine! I feel so lucky!

      The clock may need a cleaning and or need to be oiled. I recommend purchasing clock oil and oiling the mechanism connected to the pendulum

    Did you overwind it? That could be a reason for it to snap. Winding it too much can cause the spring to snap.

      That's possible, however I had no problem in the past winding it up all the way.

      It can't be overwound. If the spring breaks, it was worn out to begin with and would have broken eventually anyway.

      If he overwound it sir it wouldn’t run until the spring would be free enough

    Interesting. I have the same clock and the right keyhole on mine clearly indicates to turn counterclockwise, unlike your which points clockwise.

    I found the same clock sold by the Daniel Dakota company with a Seiko quartz movement and Westminster chime. It's mark Made in Korea. I found it in trash and give it a second life...runs like a new one.

      Did you wind the clock all the way and give the pendulum a slight push to start? And if you did, how long does it run before it stops?

      The pendulum stops in 1 minute
