How To Choose A Grandfather Clock Or A Wall Clock, And Which Of The Two Is Better?

Old-fashioned grandfather clocks and wall clocks, including large grandfather clocks, are all dialed directly with human fingers, and this adjustment will be carried out frequently, because most of these clocks are fully mechanical, and the accuracy of the time is usually not very high. Old-fashioned grandfather clocks and wall clocks. At that time, the minute hand is steel, relatively thick, but also strong, there is generally no problem when dialing the needle, and now some of the watch hands produced are relatively weak, and it is not good to make the minute hand be broken when dialing the needle.

Seat and wall clocks belong to the traditional style of clocks, and there are many types of hands, but the most common one is in the "Louis XV" style, which is a kind of hands with a more fancy shape; There are also simpler ones, such as the use of "Breguet" pointers, the thickness, length, thickness and material of the pointer are related to its reliability, and the thinner pointer is easy to be broken at the root. Once the hand (usually the minute hand) is broken, it is troublesome and it is not easy to get the exact same needle.

Therefore, when dialing the needle with your fingers, the action should be gentle, avoid dialing quickly and forcefully, if you feel that when dialing the needle, it is very tight and the sense of blockage is great, then you should be more careful; The tightness of the dial pin of each clock is different, and it is necessary to pay attention to the tight dial pin. Someone once spent more than 10,000 yuan to buy a newly bought German Hermle wall clock, and some of them broke the minute hand.

A small range of dial pointers, the problem is not big, but if you want to turn a lot of turns, don't worry, dial slowly, it is recommended to rotate instantaneously, and a small range of counterclockwise dialing can also be used; The current seat and wall clock structure will not cause the problem of wrong time telling because of the dial pin.

In fact, the best and safest way is to use your fingers to twist the shaft of the minute hand, and there is a nut-like thing at the upper end of the shaft, so you can twist it, but you have to twist it clockwise, which is the same as when we twist the watch handle. The closer you are to the root of the minute hand, the safer it is, and the hand can be turned faster without breaking the needle, so you can dial the front of the minute hand when you need to correct the time accurately.
