Adjusting the Moon Dial
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.
Every day, one click is added to the moon dial (two for Hershede and most antiques). Locate a calendar or local newspaper where the moon phases for the month are stated (typically on the weather page).
Find the Full or New moon that is nearby. Set the moon dial to the more recent of the two moon phases. Place the moon in the middle of the dial beneath the number 15. Adjust such that the moon is hidden during a new moon. The moon dial will now advance one click for every day that has gone since (two for Hershede and most antiques).
