FAQs
What type of battery does this clock use?

How do I set the time on this clock?
The time is set using a small knob located on the back of the clock. Gently turn this knob to move the hands to the desired time. Ensure the knob is pushed back in after setting.
Is the pendulum movement adjustable?
The pendulum's swing is driven by the clock's mechanism. While you can restart its swing manually, its speed is primarily determined by the quartz movement for accuracy.

Does it make any chiming sounds?
This model features a quartz movement and does not have a chiming function.
Is this clock suitable for outdoor use?
No, this clock is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to the elements can damage the wood and the internal mechanism.
How should I clean the rosewood finish?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using polishes or cleaning agents that could damage the wood or finish.
Troubleshooting
Clock is not ticking or keeping time.
Ensure a new, correct AA battery is installed with the proper polarity. Check that the battery contacts are clean. Make sure the time-setting knob is pushed fully in if applicable and that the pendulum is correctly attached and swinging freely.
Pendulum is not swinging.
Verify that the clock is on a level surface. Gently push the pendulum to start its swing. Ensure there are no obstructions around the pendulum's path.
Time is inaccurate or losing time.
Replace the battery with a fresh one. Ensure the clock is not near magnetic sources or in an area with extreme temperature fluctuations. If the issue persists, the quartz movement may require servicing.
Dust accumulation on intricate carvings.
Use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to gently remove dust from the filigree details. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
