If your clock has a round arbour push fit hand it is quite easy to sync. Undo the nut and the minute hand will drop off easily, then gently but firmly pull the hour hand from the centre so as not to put pressure on the hand itself. As soon as the clock chimes, replace the hand exactly on the hour corresponding to the amount of strikes, replace the minute hand pointing exactly to 12 o'clock and replace the nut.
If the hour hand has a square fit arbour and held on by a rivet it is a bit more complicated and I would suggest you take it to your local clockmaker.

SOURCE: Strausbourg Manor Wall Clock chime adjustment

It is normal for the average wall clock. Of course, this can be adjusted, but without watch/clockmaking knowledge it is impossible, because first you need to find out which part of the movement is causing early chiming - and there are plenty of them.
Super fine adjustment can be found only in top of the range clocks. Hundreds of hours of craftsmenship are spent to adjust and fine tune them. That's why they cost a fortune.
If you can not live with that early chiming, you have to bring your clock down to the watch/clock repair shop and ask for help. Be ready to pay quite a money, as this job takes the skill and a lot of time.

The chimes will not chime on the quarter hour and half hour - just the full hours. This happened after we set the clock back for daylight saving time. How can I correct this?

The clock probably thinks its night / early morning so it stopped chiming on the quarter hour. Move the clock forward 12 hours. It should correct itself to think its day time instead of morning.

I have a Colonial Grandmother clock,it will run about 10 mins, it tick, tocks, hand moves as pendulum swings ,will chime, then stops running,

Could be it needs cleaning or servicing though perhaps it isn't sitting perfectly level

The "old wives" tale of clocks failing to run reliably against an outside wall aren't unfounded.

How to set a classic manor quartz west minister wall clock to chime at the correct time.

Hello Fern Hicks,

Short of ORDERING IN A NEW movement I
would rather try removing the hands... and placing them where they are chime appropriate...

I'm sure there are more convoluted ways of accomplishing the same thing... but I so old & clock oriented... I only turn clocks & timers in the FORWARD direction (very OLD school).

Remove the minutes hand (from where-ever it strikes)...
Move the hour hand (only if necessary & replace the minute hand as appropriate to the movement strike.
