Tip & How-To about Watches
Changing Watch Batteries
Lots of posters ask "what is the battery in my (name of watch)" with a view to changing it yourself. This is a bad idea for many reasons. You don't have the tools or knowledge to remove a rotary screw on back, or the gasket sealant for a waterproof watch. Some fashion watches have 4 traditional screw and need professional grade jeweler screwdrivers. Also, there are about 20 batteries commonly used in watches, in various sizes and internal technology, Lithium Ion, Silver Oxide and Manganese Alkaline. If you buy them, you generally have to buy 10!
Don't sweat the details. Just take the watch to your local jeweler. They have all the batteries at hand and the tools to remove the back. It is done whilst you wait for $8 to $15!

Straussburg Manor chime clock doesn't work even after replacing battery. Any tips to troubleshoot?The clock was obtained via auction. Tried manually swinging the pendulum, but it always stops.
Troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps you can take:
Check the Chime Selection Lever:
Ensure that the chime selection lever is not set to the "silent" position. Sometimes, accidentally setting it to silent mode can prevent the chimes from sounding.
Inspect the Cam with Humps:
The Westminster mechanical clock has a cam with humps on the front plate of the movement. These humps control when the movement stops chiming.
Run the chime by turning the hand (you can mount it with the nut, but it's not necessary). Observe the cam with the humps spinning.
Wait until it reaches the end of the smallest hump (which represents the first quarter, the shortest chime).
Stop the gear train from moving with your fingers and hold it.
Adjust the hammers from the back of the movement to match the position where the last hammer drops after the 1-2-3-4-5 hammers strike in a row, representing the end of the first quarter.
Tighten the cam so that the bar riding the cam is just after the smallest hump. This should set the chimes correctly.
Battery Replacement:
If you've recently replaced the battery, ensure that you've used fresh C batteries with high capacity.
Batteries should be changed annually to guarantee accurate timing and consistent chime sounds.
Low Battery Warning Function:
If your clock starts behaving irregularly or the pendulum stops (if equipped), it might be due to low battery. Install new batteries to resolve this issue.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and specific models may have additional considerations. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional assistance or replacing the movement if necessary. If your clock is chain-driven, you can order the 1161-053 movement from Clockworks when you're ready to swap it out.

Bottom of watch by second hand....what is symbol
You've probably heard people go on and on about the "sweep" or talk about how top quality watches don't make that tell-tale "tick-tock." For all intents and purposes, these people are right. When you pick up a Cartier or Chopard, the tiny hand measuring the passage of seconds glides effortlessly, like a toothless hockey player. In actuality, all wristwatches tick-tock. However, in a true quality watch, the internal mechanism (the movement) is so finely tuned and so well constructed, that these ticks happen as often as nine times a second, producing a flawless sweep. This is the difference between a five-dollar movement and a movement costing hundreds of dollars.
