If this is a mechanical clock, make sure the chime lever is set on. If quartz there is a reset button to forward the chime advance until it matches the hands.

SOURCE: the time and chimes are out of sync for our tempus

Turn the minute hand until the 16 westminster chime operate and then the hour strikes. Remove the minute hand and simple put it back on at the 12 o-clock position. The chimes should now be in sync.

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.

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.

Seth Thomas wall clock doesn't chime on the quarter, half or three quarter hour but does chime on the hour

Hi,

Please change the time of your wall clock back 1 hour and check if the other 3 chimes return. There should be knobs on the side of the clock to help you do this. If not on the side, then please check on the back. Since you've already checked the settings and ruled them out as the cause of the issue (as well as the batteries), you might need to perform a factory reset on the clock if the steps I mentioned above fail.

Thank you.

Strausbourg manor quartz Westminster mantel clock. Why did it stop chiming?

Source: Wikipedia

The full hour chime is followed by one strike for the number of the hour by Big Ben (E3) (one strike for one o'clock, two strikes for two o'clock, and so on). ... The mechanism then plays two complete sets of five sequences for each complete hour.

Learn how to fix a mantel clock that chimes at the wrong hour. This simple fix will repair a clock that chimes at the wrong time. This can commonly occur when your mantel clock is laid down on its back and the timing is offset.

1 Thing You Have to Understand First On most clocks you can turn the minute hand counter-clockwise but SOME clocks are not safe to be turned in that direction. For this reason, it's best to only turn your minute hand clockwise just to be safe.

The Simple Mantel Clock Adjustment The easiest way to adjust a mantel clock chime is to move the hour hand to the hour that the chime is striking. Make sure that the hour hand shaft is not too tight or else it will not turn. Most mantel clock hands are friction held. DO NOT BEND YOUR HOUR HAND, loosen the shaft if it will not turn freely.
Once you have synchronized the hour hand with the hourly chime, adjust the minute hand to set the clock to the correct time by moving it forward (clockwise) around the clock face. Allow the chime to strike at every quarter hour strike.
Mantel clock Chime Adjustment When your mantel clock chimes the wrong number of times, your chime is not synchronized time of the clock. To adjust your mantel clock chime, proceed with the following step:

ADJUSTING THE HOURLY CHIME

  1. When your mantel clock chimes, count the number of times it chimes. This is what time your hourly striker is set to.
  2. Move the hour hand to the hour indicated by the hourly chime (count the number of gongs at the hour).
  3. Reset the time using the minute hand to the correct hour and the chime should adjust along with the clock hands as well.

ADJUSTING THE QUARTER CHIME

On most mantel clocks, you can simple remove the minute hand which is friction fit. You have to apply pressure on the tube and it will loosen. Once removed, re-install the minute hand at the correct time. From there you can rotate the minute hand to reset the time.

Hour chime randomly chimes 60 or 70 times

A worn chime cog wheel will not reset or advance the count. Unless you're good at making gears, you'll need a decent clock repair guy in your area.

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.

Chimes do not work

Check for loose wires between the clock Movement and the chime box. If those are good (and the batteries have good solid connection-not lose) you probably need to replace the chime control box or the whole movement.
Timesavers.com carries replacements.
Mechanical clocks, while more in cost, will live a much longer life with proper care than battery clocks. Plus, an actual chime (not noise through a speaker) is much more pleasing to the ears.

The chime of my Howard Miller mantle clock are not w/the actual hour set.How can I reset the chimes? Daylight Savings time has messed me up.

The next time it chimes multiple times turn the hour hand clockwise until it is pointing at the number of times it gonged. Next take off the dial nut off (make sure to put it in a plastic bag because they can be hard to replace) and turn the minute hand until it chimes signaling 15 minutes after. Now put the minute hand back on pointing to 3 o'clock and replace your dial nut and you are all set.
