Howard Miller 57th Anniversary Edition Triple Chime Grandfather Clock

This is a chain-driven grandfather clock with black cloth covering the side doors. For some odd reason, when chiming at the 3/4 hour mark when playing Whittington or St. Michael, it stops before hitting the very last note. This problem does not occur when it plays Westminster.

Also the reason it stopped on the 3/4 mark might have been a issue with the chime barrel

[@carwashslayer4235]

Yes the barrel got stuck and then released that’s why you hear the last note as you advanced to the hour.

Daylight Savings Time is approaching. We must turn our clocks back one hour. One particular question is on my mind: When you have a mechanical clock that chimes(like the one in the video), is it better to move the minute hand clockwise or counter-clockwise when setting the time?

[@paulcoffey1837]

I purchase a new mechanical clock at every daylight savings time or change in time zone; I did not know that they could be physically changed! I learn something new in each of your videos Jamie! :)

[@pjames8673]

Yes, with mechanical clocks, you can open a door to the dial and use your finger to turn the minute hand(try not to touch the hour hand on some clocks, though). With battery operated clocks, you take it off the wall to turn the clock over to find a small wheel that moves the hands. I’m so glad I could help.

I remember at some point while researching my own clock about the hands and if you can turn them, I believe you can’t mess with the hour but with the minute hand I think you might be able to turn it back, probably safer just to turn it clockwise

[@carwashslayer4235]

The beat is uneven simply remove the pendulum and grasp the arm to one side or another until you get a nice clean even fast beat. Reattaching the pendulum will slow it down to normal. A clean even beat ensures that the clock continues to keep accurate time. Chimes sound perfect.

Hi P James do you still have that emperor triple chime grandfather clock? I was wondering if you could give me the model number and more info because I’m getting the exact same clock also this clock is really nice.
Thanks Cobe Snyder.

That clock belongs to my friend. I still have the video of it. The model number I am uncertain.

Just ignore that thing you see in the top right corner. The clock is this videos’ main focus.
