SOURCE: tempus fugit westminster mantle battery operated

I had the same problem but the solution is unbelievably simple. Just set the hands to the time desired by turning the round button on the housing. Now you mmust tell the quartz timer/clock (plastic rectangular mechanism) the same time as you have set the hands. In this way when the hands hit the Quarter hours/half hours and the hours, the electonic chimes will chime the correct time.

Ultra simple. The two hour buttons and two minute buttons represent a 24 hour clock. Example, how to set the clock to 2:50 PM. Easy, change the 2 PM to its 24 hour counterpart, i.e. 14 hundred hours.

Move the hands to 2:55. Push the first button once for 1, push the second button 4 times, push the first M button 5 times, push the second M button 5 times. Move the set button back to run and there you have it. 1455 Hours. Not it should chime correctly. As a tip, use a brand new fresh battery to try this out.

If your clock has a small hole between 4 and 5 then you can turn off the quarter hours chimes using the small part of the key. If your clock does not have that small hole you can not turn off the quarte hor chimes.

How to get a sterling and noble chiming clock time set

To set the time on a Sterling and Noble chiming clock, please follow these steps:

Remove the clock from the wall or mantle and place it on a flat surface.
Locate the clock's time adjustment knob. This is usually located on the back of the clock and may be labeled "Time," "Adjust," or "Set."
Turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise to set the correct time. Be sure to move the hands of the clock in the direction of the correct time.
If your clock has a chime feature, locate the chime adjustment knob. This may also be located on the back of the clock and may be labeled "Chime," "Strike," or "Silent."
Turn the chime adjustment knob to the "Silent" position if you do not want the clock to chime. If you want the clock to chime, turn the knob to the desired chime setting.
Once you have set the time and chime settings, replace the clock on the wall or mantle.
Note: It is important to set the time accurately and synchronize it with an accurate time source, such as an atomic clock, to ensure that the clock keeps accurate time. Additionally, it is recommended to consult the clock's user manual for specific instructions and troubleshooting tips.

How to fix Hamilton mantle clock continues to chime each 15 minutes for several minutes?

They should chime on the quarter hours, but it should be a short chime. Some help in the link, but it probably needs servicing.

I have a Bulova Mantle Clock , will not chime but use too . not electric ....

Standard mechanical clocks were often equipped with a lever to switch off the chimes when "silence" was needed, such as during the night when people were sleeping.

It is also worth noting, with a mechanical striking/chiming clock, that it is very bad practice to set the hands to the correct time by moving them backwards and doing so can really upset the mechanism of some clocks and the services of an horologist can be needed to restore them to fully working order.

To set the time an hour back for instance, the hands should be advanced eleven hours, pausing at each quarter, half and hour to allow the full chime before advancing. Stopping the clock and waiting for the correct time to come around is a suitable alternative if the mechanism is accessible.

I have an estate mantel clock that has started to chime on the 1/2 hr as opposed to the hour. it is chiming the correct time.

It could take an horologist a while to sort out why it suddenly changed. It isn't unusual for a chiming clock to chime at the quarters and half-hour as well as chiming and striking the hour. A quality clock usually allows the manner of chiming/striking to be selected and sometimes even the volume can be altered.

If your clock used to chime and strike the hour and now doesn't and appears to have slipped by exactly 30 minutes clearly something is happening. In the old days such things were often the result of turning the hands backwards to reset the time - that type of clock should be reset only by turning the hands forward and pausing at each quarter, half and hour to allow the chiming of each to complete. Most folk simply stop their clocks and wait for time to catch up...

It is also reckoned such a clock should not be kept next to an exterior wall but rather in a place where the temperature and humidity is the most stable.

After spot cleaning mantle clock with German movement (circa 1960), the clock chimes properly on the hour but does not chime on the half hour.

I am hoping that you oiled it also? One trick I have found is to gently lift the hammers and release, sometimes the hammers will release and strike the chimes/gong. Do this 4-5 times and hopefully it will get it chiming for you again.
