                <description>Dutch People have a long history in making clocks from 16th century in cities like Jour, Hindelopen, Groningen, Zandam and Amsterdam. Nowadays these antique clocks are very expensive and can be also found in museums.

From start of 1900 lots of Dutch clocks have been mass produced in small workshops with modern equipments. Following movie is an example of one of the modern workshops at that time. That clocks were sold around 1800 Guilden (equal to 900 Euro).

In 1929 Warmink factory was established by J. Warmink in Almelo and started mass production of high quality clocks.

Warmink factory produced lots of quality-Table clocks, Zandam clocks, Friesian clocks, Salander clocks, Barometers and Electrical clocks with marks of Warmink, Jeka, Wuba, John Smith which most of them are still working in Dutch houses. Unfortunately Warmink factory closed his doors in 2002, Warmink clocks are very famous and collective clocks during past years.

                <description>Zaanse clock:The Zaanse clock (Zaandam clocks) is known for its classic model, with on top of the atlas and first &#039;faith, hope and love&#039; and the sentence “Nu elck syn sin”. The antique Zaanse clocks all run on bid peer shape weights, with cords (no chains) over pulleys. They are generally made between 1650 and 1750 and are distinguished from other clocks of that time by their appearance and by the particular model of the handmade timepieces.

&quot;Nu elck syn sin&quot; is middle age Dutch proverb that indicates the pleasant feeling that every owner of such a clock is having a good time.

Modern Zaanse Clock:

The modern type of zaanse klock became immensely popular when the Warmink Company began reproducing them during the second half of the twentieth century. They have the same appearance but with 2 peer shape weights.

Warmink Zaanse clocks are equipped with 1 day or 8 days movements. The one day type is very small and light weight..

                <description>How to hang a clock:

When you hang the clock, It shall be leveled both horizontally and vertically. You can put some paper at the back of clock If the wall is not straight. Use a suitable roll plug, falling from the wall could be a disaster for your clock.

How to move a clock:

Always move the clock with the weights and pendulum removed and hold it as upright as possible.

How to transport a clock:

For sending a clock both inside and outside of clock shall be protected. Special attention is needed for protecting pendulum hanger:

If the suspension spring become bended then the clock will not work properly. If the Pendulum fork bended the clock will stop working. So these parts shall be protected during transportation and shipment.

If the clock is not working:

There is a possibility that the clock is not working after moving the clock. In this case it is not broken, it is out of the beat. Do not be panic and follow following simple steps

∙ Check if the hands are not touching each other, face of fron door. In that case just form and adjust the hands.
∙ Check if the clock are installed and leveled correctly.
∙ Check the pendulum is not bended, deformed or blocked by body or any part of clock.
∙ In some clocks, right and left weights are different, check if they are in correct position
∙ Hear the sound, you should hear symmetric TICK and the TOCK, The pendulum needs to swing exactly equal distances from dead center to the left, as from dead center to the right. If a clock is out of beat it makes a sound like tock,tick——tock,tick and the pendulum will swing for a few minutes and stop. Sometime by leveling the clock will be easily in beat.
∙ If the clock is level, take off the pendulum and slightly move the pendulum fork from left to right or right to left until it starts moving on its own. It should have the same feel from dead center to right and dead center to left. Hang the pendulum listen. If the sound is still not symmetric then repeat this step until get a symmetric Tick-Tock sound.
∙ Small dirt inside movement can stop clock, check if there is any dirt, plastic or styrofoam inside or between gears and clean it with small tooth stick. Cleaning with Silicon Spray can also help.
