How do I set my antique mantle clock?

Turn the minute hand clockwise until the clock is set. If it has chimes, you may have to loosen the nut that holds the hands in place and reposition them so the time agrees with the chimes. When you switch to daylight savings time, if the clock cannot be stopped, move it ahead 11 hours. Don’t try turning the hands backward as it usually messes the chime and time settings.
