• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Good day. I trust that all is well. I am a novice clock/timepiece collector. I have recently acquired what I believe to be a 1878 Ansonia Kirkwood. I got the clock running and am wondering whether I should make up the missing labels or let it be. Would it depreciate the value of the clock...

    This is the second crystal regulator where I have had this problem, both Ansonia. The clock runs well, is in beat, but gains time. I have lengthened the pendulum to the point where it is nearly touching the bottom of the case. Is this a common problem or a case of the wrong pendulum? The other...
