This is a jewelers regulator called the Milan made by Howard Miller, model # 613-212 It as a Hermle 351-830 movement and plays the west minster chimes.
Wonderful highlight reel of the Milan's fine points. I think it important to mention that the extreme weight on the time drive wheels makes lubricant imperative. There are bronze bushings in the pivot so it takes minimal lube on each plate's scuppers. A jeweler's regulator is renowned for ACCURACY, due to tremendous inertia on the time drive (8 lbs). They were used to SET the hairspring beat and recoil in railroad grade pocket watches (for train movements) before central dispatching
Great clock, I have had one for about 20 years now, with the Silent/Chime option. I do need to oil it though, if you know of a good oil that would be great.
Nice to meet a fellow Milan owner. I bought some clock oil from a company called "Time savers" I also bought a little plastic bottle with a long thin tip so I can reach the deep spots. For me that 2 oz. bottle of oil will last a lifetime and was well worth the $8 investment. If you have not oiled a clock before you should look up a video or two on RUclips to see how - only a very small drop on each pivot will do, don't use to much. Good luck
Thank you for the information! The Milan is a great clock, I live here in CT and really enjoy my Milan. I do find myself adjusting the pendelum as the seasons change as it will be too slow or too fast. To be expected I would think :-)
I just purchased a Milan yesterday12/5/2019. The good news is that the case and movement are in perfect condition. The bad news is that it was in storage for 10 years and they lost the weights. The pulley and weight hanger is there, just not the weights. Do you know if there is a way to purchase replacement weights? I’ve looked online and can’t find anything. Do you know how much each weight weighs? Thanks!
These are heavy long brass weights almost 4 lbs each. A grandfather or floor clock movement has comparable weight and shells. You could always go to Howard Miller and order them as repair parts. Be prepared for sticker shock, probably $75 each.

My Grandparents has that same Wall Clock at My Grandparents house at Delray Beach, Florida (Used to be at Haverstraw, New York until 2004).
This chime movement first came out in 1989.
Is there a way to silence the chime of a Howard Miller 613-212 model made in the 1990s?
I have one has an apple computers logo on it ,Beautiful Clock ,Open to offers if anyone is looking for one..
This sounds the same as the Howard Miller Pembrook 613-231 made in 1989.
Same with Wesmont 613-110

I also live in CT (Winsted)
I do have to adjust the pendulum also but the clock keeps amazingly accurate time.
Windsor here - small world! Stay warm out there today.
@@Joedy860 do you know of a good clock repair shop in our area if I ever need a pro?

This clock is from the 90’s.
Do you also have one ?
No. My grandmother used to have a clock sounding similar to that.
This is from 1994.

It sounds like a mantle clock.
