Every three years, all mechanical weight-driven and mainspring clocks need to be oiled.
NOTE: If you are not a clock professional, or familiar with the intricacies of your clock’s mechanism, we recommend calling Clock Repair Studio for professional service.
Your clock’s mechanical component has to be regularly serviced.
If properly maintained, a well-built clock mechanism should last for many lifetimes and be handed down from generation to generation.
You may compare it to the motor in your automobile. Your clocks inner parts are made of brass and steel components. How properly lubricated and how regularly it is oiled and maintained can greatly affect the longevity of the clock properly operating.
Over time, oil begins to oxidize and dry out. The lifespan of a clock movement is shortened when it is operated with insufficient oil.
Clock Repair Studio is happy to service your timepiece for you. Just call or email to set-up an in-studio appointment, or a service call for grandfather clocks.
