Clock Setup Guide

Tips from the Caretaker

Setting up an antique clock is a little different from setting up a modern timepiece, and doing it correctly makes all the difference. SLC Clocks has put together a complete step-by-step setup guide covering all five clock types we sell — spring-wound mantel clocks, spring-wound wall clocks, weight-driven wall clocks, cuckoo clocks, and Vienna regulators. The guide covers safe unpacking, proper mounting, pendulum and weight installation, winding instructions, beat adjustment, and routine care and maintenance.
We recommend downloading and reading the guide before you handle your clock for the first time. It takes just a few minutes and can save you a lot of frustration. Download your free copy below.
