The clock gains as well as striking on the hour only the once tried setting it right but have had no luck yet what I forgot too mention int a antique clock

I have a Nu Elck Syn Sin clock...but it always strikes 12 times at each hour instead of only once for 1 hour...twice for 2 hours...3 times for 3 hours...etc...but each time...it strikes 12 times.
how can i solve this problem ? Or can i stop the "strike" only by taking off the weight ?

More than likely, there are springs that activate the levers for it to chime, or bong, they may have got jammed up, you can open it up, and see if you see anything like that, if not, you will have to take it to your local jewelry store, or watch/clock makers to have them take a look. You never indicated what type of clock (make or model) so I can\'t be certain. Maybe a ships clock? They may want to charge you for a overhaul of the movement, but you can tell them to just "make it work" if it was running fine before (keeping time well) then an overhaul probably isn\'t necessary. It sounds like something may have got jammed.
I hope this helps !

you can try this although it may not work with your movement: set the clock at 9 and then move the hands forward past the 12 position. count the strikes. move the hands backward to the 9 position and then advance forward to the 12 position. count the strikes. did the strikes increase by one? if so, keep doing the same thing until your get 12 strikes when you are on the 12. then you can move forward and set the correct time and have the correct # of strikes.

If the clock is chiming like this it means that the hour hand is out. GENTLY loosen the hands, place the hour hand on the hour that the clock has chimed then fasten the hands in place. Gently move the minute hand clockwise Only, and check each hour that it strikes right. If the cuckoo has a button at the back use that instead. For more information email me at [email protected]

These are general quartz wall clock instructions as I dont know enough about what type/style of clock you have.

Open the access door to the dial and hands of the clock if required. Some battery-operated clock movements are sealed inside the clock case with a back panel that is screwed in place. To gain access to the hand set knob, remove the back panel screws using the appropriate tipped screwdriver.

Turn the minute hand (or turn the hand set knob at the rear of the movement if access is available) carefully counterclockwise or clockwise until the correct time is reached. Keep in mind that using the hand set from the rear would require turning the knob in a clockwise direction in order for the hands to turn counterclockwise.

Move the hour hand carefully with your fingers near the center of the hand to the hour that the clock is striking if the striking chime is not counting the correct hour. The hour hand is a friction fit hand and will move without engaging the minute hand.

Replace the back panel and tighten the screws with the screwdriver if removal of the back panel was necessary to access the hand set knob.

Close the front access door if required.

With only limited information provided about your type of actual antique clock this symptom has to conclude that your clock is a non self correcting style.

Step one: Ensure clock is striking the hour. during the time of the hour strike quickly move the minute hand to the hour.

Step two: Move to the half hour allow to strike, move hand to hour allow to strike then move the hour hand to align with the correct count.

Step three: Stop the clock until the correct time has been achieved and start clock OR strike ever hour and half hour until clock is set to the correct time.

Hope this tip guides you to a solution for your clock.

You will need to do a mechanical adjustment to the hand.
Loosen the hand nut and adjust the hand the tighten.

Hope this tip helps to solve your problems

My Father severed his apprentiship at Augusta Schatz in Triberg. Never move the hour hand only move the minute hand, I know it is lond winded but does not un seat the hour hand fixing. But most important NEVER move the hand backwards ONLY forwards as this goes against the workings of the movement.

Middle Key hole for the time.
Left side is for Chime
Right side is for the strike.

What type of clock is it...
Analogue / Digital

Does it have a calibration ?
What stops you from forwarding the clock by Four Hours ?
