I need instructions on how to set a hamilton mantel clock I received it has a key and 3 stems on the face?


some clocks you turn the minute hand counter clockwise till you get to the right time. then you wind all 3 stems with the key. wind the stems every week at the same time.

    Maybe one winds the clock, another sets the time, and one winds the chimes?

    In most winding clocks
    One stem winds it, with a continous clockwise motion until it gets taught
    Another stem sets the time or sometimes one stem sets hours ther other minutes
    If the third stem is not minutes it may wind the chime…

    Geez if I had it in front of me I could figure it out.Does the key unlock it or wind it?It probably opens the face whereas then you could set time with the stems.Ask a jeweler that deals in clocks
