General Cleaning: Dust the clock regularly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
Stubborn Stains: If needed, use a neutral detergent, but avoid wetting the surface too much. Never apply cleaning sprays or harsh chemicals directly to the clock.
Batteries: Most of the clocks operate on one battery, which is typically included. Ensure that you insert the battery correctly and remove old batteries promptly to prevent corrosion.
Handling Hands: When setting the time or handling the hands, use the small wheel on the back of the mechanism. The hands are made of delicate, lightweight aluminum and should be handled with care to avoid bending.
Placement and environment
nvironmental Factors: Place the clock in a stable environment with moderate temperatures and controlled humidity levels (around 40-50%).
Avoid Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the hand-painted, water-based finishes and warp components.
Secure Mounting: Mount the clock on a sturdy wall, away from high-traffic areas or frequently slammed doors that could cause vibrations. The clock typically comes with the necessary screws and dowels for secure installation.
Leveling: Use a spirit level during installation to ensure the clock is perfectly straight, as proper alignment is key to the mechanism's function.
