Minor dust can be gently removed with a soft brush or compressed air. However, avoid direct contact with the delicate internal parts. For deeper cleaning, professional servicing is recommended.

How should I care for the glass panels?

The glass panels can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth. Dry immediately with a separate dry cloth to avoid streaks or water spots. Avoid using glass cleaners directly on the clock.

Troubleshooting

Clock is not ticking or hands are not moving.

Ensure the battery is correctly installed with the right polarity. Replace the battery if it is old. Check that the setting knob is not in the 'set time' position. Gently inspect for any obstructions to the hands.

Clock is losing or gaining time.

Verify the clock is on a level surface. Replace the battery. Extreme temperatures can affect accuracy; move the clock to a more stable environment. If issues persist, the movement may need professional adjustment.

Visible dust or debris inside the glass.

Carefully use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove dust from visible parts. Avoid touching the delicate internal mechanisms directly.

Brushed gold finish appears dull or scratched.

Clean with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor smudges, a slightly damp cloth may be used, but ensure it is dried immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials.
