carried out if a spring driven movement new springs are fitted then the
movement is reassembled, lubricated where necessary tested and regulated then
your clock is ready to be returned.
Q. Should I oil my clock or barometer?
A. No, only a skilled professional should carry out work on a clock oiling a dirty
movement causes wear on pinions and bushes, only certain parts of
a clock movement requires lubrication getting this wrong will just increase future
repair bills.
