I have a Vienna wall clock by Gustav Becker that has been silent for about two years and has suddenly started up again on its own.
(I was not able to find a clockmaker who could take a look and tell me what was wrong, so I had more or less given up).
As far as I know, it has not been moved at all. It gave me quite a shock to hear it chime this morning.
Could anyone suggest why it might suddenly decide to start?
Could anyone also suggest a clockmaker in N Ireland who might look at it for me?
Many thanks.

The workings of any clock involve very fine pieces of very precise engineering all working together, if something slipped out of line or maybe a small bit of dust or dirt got stuck in the workings it is possible that it has cleared itself, maybe a change in temperature or humidity has caused a minute change somewhere, you will probably never know unless it...

I took the photo with the iPad, so it looks crooked. Here is the best I can do with the logo:

Good detail there; I didn't see the seconds dial in the first photo. Any chance of a photo of the entire clock?...Hope I'm not bugging you:). Anyway, off to the bar now, cheers>
