How do I date a bracket clock?
1 Answer

If the bracket lock has a date indicator there are normally two different methods of dating the clock. With some, every two revolutions of the hour hand, at or near 12, will make contact with the dating ring behind the dial. If the bracket clock has a date pointer, the same method will work. However, you will be able to open the front of the clock and manually move the pointer. Shop a collection of bracket clocks on 1stDibs.
