The Westminster/ Whittington clock means that it has 2 or 3 settings. 1. Silent 2. Westminster Based on the music My redeemer liveth by Handel 3. Whittington Set the clock onto the westminster setting, this is the easiest. At quarter past the hour it should sound 4 notes. The half past should be 8 notes. Quarter to the hour should be 12 notes and the hour should be 16 notes then the striking of the hour. For example on 8 'O clock you should hear 16 notes then the clock should chime 8 times. Sometimes if the hour is out just gently stop the pendulum, check what hour the clock is striking then without taking the hands off move only the hour hand to the hour. Do not do this with the minute hand. I hope this helps you! If you are not sure please email me [email protected] I fix these clocks.
Depends on what is happening. If the chimes progress from 4 notes to 16 notes and the the hour chimes, then you simple remove the minute hand and set it to whatever the chimes sound. Example, let the clock chime the hour. Remove the minute hand and set it to the hour. It should now be in sync.

I've know it is very simple but I lost the directions. Removing the minute hand is NOT AN OPTION.
Each press of the red button advances the chime count by one. I advanced the chime count one at a time until the count matched the displayed time.
