I like pendulum clocks and I have quite a number of them in my home but none are antique clocks because I don't believe in buying them ............ if you want to give me one thank you!! The pendulum wall clocks are really a pleasing sight and they will never be outdated, yes timeless.
A couple of days ago I just got two of my pendulum wall clocks working again with new quartz electronic clock work. The first one was from Germany which I bought when I was there in the nineties and hand carried it back all the way home. The original clock work was quartz electronic and I had to replaced it once before because it died ............ so now it is the third time.
The second clock is a fully mechanically pendulum wall clock and it was the first mechanical pendulum clock that I bought. It was made in China, a replica of some kind of antique clock ......... I think it is the Lipizzaner Horse Clock which was made in Germany. The escapement gear was worn out unevenly and thus it was not able to keep accurate time. I tried to adjust the rocker to keep the time right but ........... no result and I guess the only option was to change the escapement gear or change the mechanical clock work to quartz electronic ........... I decided on a quartz electronic since it is much easier to replace.
Now I have three quartz electronic pendulum wall clock and the third one is a replica of a classic school house long drop regulator "a" clock made by Citizen. This one has been with us for quite a long time now and it is still keeping good time. It did gave some trouble like stop working but I managed to get it started again .......... I don't know how but I did it ...... hehe!!
Another four pendulum wall clocks are mechanical and they are running perfectly. Three were China made, antique replicas and another is Japanese .......... Seiko I think. It is really an old boring mechanical pendulum wall clock and it had been around for more than thirty years I think. Actually it had already stop working when I got it and I managed to revive it.
Other than pendulum wall clocks there are also other types of clocks in the house including one in the upstairs toilet. One day I think the pendulum wall clocks are going to be worth quite a fair bit ............ don't you think so?
