In addition, a clock face can have winding holes, chimes levers, a chapter ring, corner spandrels, a moon dial and an upper door.   What Is the Face of a Grandfather Clock Called? The grandfather clock face is often referred as a dial. The clock dials can be decorated with ornamenting details giving them a unique look.   What Are Grandfather Clock Faces Made of? Most of grandfather clock faces are made of brass, wood and glass. When a clock face made of brass, it is often has elaborated decor. For the clocks with a wooden dial, it is common to have painted decoration and most likely to be found on the antique clock.   Types of Grandfather Clock Faces Just like anything else, grandfather clock faces have different types and styles.   Traditional Clock Face A clock face in traditional style is made of brass and features corner and center ornaments. The dial includes a chapter ring with Arabic or Roman numerals as well as serpentine hour and minute hands. Since most of traditional grandfather clocks have mechanical movement, the clock dials will have three winding holes to rase the weights to keep powering the clock pendulum and the chimes levers.   Contemporary Clock Face When it comes to contemporary style, most of clock faces will offer a simple design. A white dial with black hour and minute hands are what you can find on a contemporary clock face. The common materials are wood, glass and metal. Contemporary grandfather clocks often power the clock pendulum with a quartz movement and winding holes are created for decorative purposes.   Antique Clock Face The face of an antique clock can be somewhat similar to the one of traditional style but it really depends on where and when the grandfather clock was made. For example, some antique clocks offer painted dials with floral motives while others have simple abstract decoration on the corners.   Grandfather Clock with Moon Face In addition to the clock dial, there can be a moon dial to track the phases of the moon through the 29 1/2 days of the lunar month. These dials show the lunar date and position of the moon in the sky.   Grandfather Clock Skeleton Face A skeleton face of a grandfather clock is made out of glass and exposes the gear movement. This gives the opportunity to view the skeleton of the movement and how it works.   Grandfather Clock Face Tempus Fugit A Tempus Fugit clock face is a dial with the Latin term “Tempus Fugit” (Time Flies) embossed above or on it. This type of dials is quite common on grandfather clocks but this phrase is not a brand name, like Howard Miller Grandfather Clocks, Ridgeway Grandfather Clocks and other grandfather clocks brands.   How to Set Time on a Grandfather Clock To set the time on a grandfather clock, you need to move only the minute hand counterclockwise (backwards) until hour and minute hand are at the correct time. The hour hand will move automatically when the minute hand is moved.   How to Clean Grandfather Clock Face Cleaning the face of a grandfather clock is better to leave for a clock expert. But if it is impossible then you can try using a lightweight vacuum cleaner but do not ever use a blowing instrument. Do not clean grandfather clock face with a wet cloth nor do not use polish.
