  • This Is Part 1 of 2 on Servicing the 400-Day (Anniversary) Clock
    1 This is part 1 of 2 on servicing the 400-day (Anniversary) clock. This article will be a 2-part series devoted to the servicing of the 400-day or Anniversary clock by Michael P. Murray. Mike was AWI’s 400-day clock repair bench course Instructor. The 400-day course is a 2-day “hands on” affair with the students working on the clock that they bring and Mike can accommodate anywhere from 8 to 16 students. For more information about Mike please see his Website at: http://www.atmosman.com/400dayin.html . This article is copyrighted to the author and references. Members, In my initial series on the 400-day clock, we will cover final assembly right through final timing. My assumption is that we all know the basics but it’s the last seemingly basis steps where most of the troubles occur when servicing this slightly temperamental timepiece. My goal in writing these articles is to get you past many of the pitfalls and erroneous assumptions. There are no real “secrets” and I hope to enable anyone who reads this by dispelling any fears or myths. So if you’re not currently servicing the 400-day, I urge you to give them another try. Series Assumptions A quick mention of what I expect as the “basis”. You’re checked for and corrected any pivot, tooth, or gear depthing problems (depthing problems are extremely rare), used a mainspring winder to remove and install the mainspring, cleaned and lubricated same, pegged all pivot holes, polished all pivots and pivot shoulders, polished the anchor pin and the inside of the fork tines, and cleaned all parts.

  • The Haller Time Bomb (GTB)
    The Haller Time Bomb Clock by Mervyn Passmore 1 The Sigfried Haller ‘Time Bomb’ Anniversary Clock This unusual Anniversary clock has been nicknamed ‘The German Time Bomb’ because it normally ticks away happily for years, but suddenly and without any warning, its toothless ratchet can slip and the mainspring will unwind noisily. It can destroy itself in the process, and can cause injury to anyone near it at the time. It can shatter its own dome as it explodes. It is an extremely dangerous clock and you should consider very carefully before putting it on public or domestic display unless you are sure it is only partly wound. If you are considering working on the movement, either to service or repair it, you need to be aware that this clock was not nicknamed ‘The German Time Bomb’ as a term of endearment but because it can and does cause injury without any warning, and it can do so at any time, ticking or not. If you are not an experienced clock repairer, do not attempt to work on it. Put it in a strong carton, cover it with an old towel, seal the box and mark the box appropriately. Store it away from children. Most accidents occur when owners unwittingly undo the four screws on the back plate, expecting to find some sort of mechanism inside. Do not Do not start dismantling undo these screws unless you know that the by undoing these screws mainspring has been let down fully. on the back. If you do, the clock may explode.
