FAQs
Does the clock tick audibly?
The spiral pendulum mechanism is designed to rotate silently. While the quartz movement itself might produce a very faint sound, it is generally considered a silent clock, ideal for quiet environments.
What type of batteries does it use and are they included?
The clock requires 2 x AA batteries, and these are included with your purchase.
How often do I need to change the batteries?
Battery life typically lasts for a significant period, often a year or more, depending on battery quality and usage. Replace them when you notice the clock slowing down or stopping.
What is the warranty period for this clock?
Please refer to the product packaging or Widdop's official documentation for specific warranty details, as this can vary.
Can the pendulum be stopped or removed?
The design of this clock features a continuously rotating spiral pendulum as a key aesthetic element. It is not designed to be stopped or removed.
How accurate is the quartz movement?
Rhythm's ultra-precise quartz movements are known for their high accuracy, designed to keep perfect time for a lifetime with minimal deviation.
Troubleshooting
Clock is not running.
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with the correct polarity. Try fresh, high-quality AA batteries. Check that the time-setting knob is not pushed in too far, which can sometimes stop the movement.
Clock is running slow or fast.
Ensure the clock is on a level surface. If the issue persists, the quartz movement may need recalibration or servicing, though this is rare with precise quartz mechanisms. If batteries are new, contact customer support.
Pendulum is not rotating.
Make sure the clock is on a perfectly level surface. Ensure the pendulum is correctly attached and not obstructed. Check battery power, as a weak battery might affect pendulum movement.
