Antique Clock Count Wheels - Essential Clock Repair Parts for Strike Mechanisms
Welcome to VintageClockParts.com's specialized collection of antique clock count wheels, your trusted source for authentic clock repair parts and vintage timepiece components. When your antique clock strikes the wrong number of hours or fails to synchronize properly, a worn or damaged count wheel is often the culprit requiring professional clock repair attention. VintageClockParts.com has been the go-to supplier for clock repair specialists, horologists, and restoration enthusiasts seeking hard-to-find count wheels and precision clock repair parts for over years.
What Is a Count Wheel and Why Is It Critical for Clock Repair?
The count wheel, also called a locking plate or strike wheel, is an indispensable clock repair component that controls how many times your antique clock strikes each hour. This ingenious mechanical clock part features strategically spaced notches or slots that determine the striking sequence—one chime for 1 o'clock, two for 2 o'clock, and so forth up to twelve strikes at noon and midnight. During clock repair diagnostics, when customers report that their timepiece strikes seven times at 3 o'clock or continues striking endlessly, clock repair professionals immediately examine the count wheel for wear, damage, or incorrect positioning. Understanding count wheel mechanics is fundamental knowledge for anyone involved in professional clock repair or vintage timepiece restoration.
