How often should my clock be oiled?
I believe 4 years is a solid number for servicing a clock. Environmental factors play a part as well. This not a definitive answer, but a suggestion pulled from years of experience and other manufacturer suggestions.
Is it possible to over-wind a clock?
In most cases it is impossible to over-wind a clock. A lot of times, people will go to wind their clock, only to find that it still doesn’t work. This is a sign that there is something else wrong with the clock, as it is nearly impossible to over-wind it.
