Repair related questions on clocks. I do not know watches. I give mechanical advice to get your clock going... if possible. Sometimes the problem you have is for professional repair and is too complicated for me write out. This doesn't mean I don't have the knowledge it means I don't have the time to spend teaching complicated clock repair. When asking a question please provide a photo if possible, ~along~ with the numbers you find. Names on a clock and numbers aren't enough information. The cases are made by one company and the movements by another. The numbers, many times, are for company purposes. They don't tell me what type of clock it is such as: spring driven, weight driven, battery operated, electric, etc. wall clock, mantel clock, floor clock, etc. If I can't find your clock immediately with a search I will tell you that I do not have enough information. I'm here for mechanically related questions that have to do with ALL clocks. I'm also sorry but I will not do appraisals or give values of clocks. That information is available on line with research. Ebay will provide what clocks have sold for under the "completed listing" section. I will help if possible but this site is for "repair" related questions, not for value or ages of clocks. A photo will give me an idea of age and value, but the rest of the research will be up to you.

2012-05-22 Waltham Wall Clock:
Hi Gregory, It sounds like it's time to have the clock cleaned and oiled. Old oil and dirt can stop a clock. 15 years is iffy....there could be wear in the pivot holes or the pivot holes can be still
