@Jamestube 8439 looks like the clock sadly doesn’t keep time running. The Westminster melody quarter chimes sound great. Have You got the movement fixed or replaced quite yet or no? Whenever it gets its own movement fixed or replaced You should do a winding video on how to wind that clock, and demonstrate how fast the quarter chime would sound, like how You normally do for chiming demonstration.
@@Jamestube8439 That would sound good. Eventually You’ll make a winding video of the clock You said, and Me and your clock fans would love to see it running whenever the clock gets fixed.
I just rewatched this and when the balance wheel just stopped very abruptly, this makes me wonder if there’s an ever so small piece of gunk in there that needs cleaned out and removed. That could be the cause of the balance whell stopping so abruptly
@@NeilPrasad_1905 they wouldn’t have westminster chimes. stuff like the usual gingerbread style kitchen clock, ogee, etc. Seth Thomas being one of the main clockmakers in America to produce these clocks.
@@Jamestube8439 yeah, this one has the newer balance wheel escapement, which would usually be more reliable compared to the older floating balance (shown in my hamilton), but to clarify, since this is the ORIGINAL MOVEMENT, this was most likely made in 1987.
Ok I know this is the third comment I’m leaving here (lol), but if you happen to not have any success with cleaning and such, you might be better off just replacing the movement entirely. There are some new Hermle 340-020 movements on eBay that can be purchased and you likely can easily replace the movement.
I don't mind the number of comments you leave FRIRD, lol. Still though that's a good idea, I doubt I'll be working on restoring it as I don't have as much time available like I used to.
I'm genuinely miffed at the clock shop that told you this clock is over 200 years old. Hamilton clocks are very much vintage, not antique clocks... Yours might be from the 70s at best. Shame on them for giving you such wildly incorrect info. On the plus side, these Hamilton clocks mostly used Hermle movements, which can easily be found today. My guess is that yours uses the 340-020 movement, which is a Westminster chiming, balance wheel movement. Sadly they aren't designed to be particularly long-lasting movements, and fixing them is often far more expensive than simply getting a new movement. You might even be able to find a functioning used movement for cheap if you look on the various online auction sites.
Agree, disappointed in that clock shop. The bright lime green sticker with arrows saying “lift” is clue enough it’s not from the 1800’s, however the two numbers above the HAMILTON on the back will tell you the year it was made, looks like 87 when I pause the video, meaning it was made 1987. Still, a very nice clock.

@@magnamonium1054 Not yet. It may need a cleaning. Eventually I will get it fixed and if I do, I’ll definitely make a winding video

Possibly, I'll have a look at it later.
Spectacular clock ❤️. Does it make Westminster chime?
Yes it does.
@@Jamestube8439 Thanks for your kind response
@@alexandermuller950 You're welcome.
I own a clock almost identical. I have gotten it to keep time. Though it runs fast at the moment.
@@silkythreads ah very nice!
I bet it just needs oiling as most clocks do. It’d be nice to get it running that way.
I tried that, probably needs to be cleaned.
There is no way this is from 1817 or whatever year they told you.. They didnt start making clocks like these until after 1969.
Yeah it seemed a little suspicious. Still it's a nice clock.
Connor, what do vintage 1800s mantleclocks look like if this Hamilton doesn't look like it's from 1817?

@@ConnersClocks so, this Hamilton is like from 1970s and not 1817?

My grandfather was given a Hamilton clock just like that for his retirement in 1982 from Dow.
The shipping sticker on lever !
