The Greenwich Master Regulator 

The Greenwich Regulator is an original design by Oakside Classic Clocks.

The Greenwich Regulator is an Oakside Classic Clocks “Original design”

We build the Greenwich clock cabinet in your choice of solid Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry or Oak, each with decorative stringing inlays. The cabinet is hand-sanded to a fine finish before we apply five coats of hard lacquer – this is burnished to a very pleasing satin sheen that will not require any further attention other than an occasional polish! In time the timber will gradually acquire a patina that can only develop with age.

The clock cabinet is fully glazed, with bevelled glass to the sides, top & bottom but you may specify solid timber panels instead of the glass - this would be to special order and we would not refund a deposit once construction has started!

There are two movement types for the Greenwich Regulator – option one is the Kieninger® PS, 8-day mechanical movement which chimes the hours on a coiled gong, two brass weights provide the energy to drive the pendulum and to operate the chiming mechanism. Option two is the Kieninger RWS 8-day, mechanical movement that plays the Westminster melody on the quarter hours and chimes the hours on an 8-rod gong. A pair of brass weights provide the motive power for the pendulum - separate spring barrels drive the melody and chimes.

There are two dial options – the Vienna style dial has conventional, centrally mounted, hour and minute hands and a subsidiary dial showing seconds. The Regulator dial has a central minute hand and two subsidiary dials, showing hours and seconds.

We fit the Greenwich with a Grid Pendulum as standard but you may specify either the Temperature Compensating pendulum or the traditional English timber pendulum - all pendulums have a 140mm polished brass bob.

Please note:- The PS and the RWS movements now have ‘automatic night silencing.

Manufacturing quality shows in every Kieninger movement. All movement plates are made of a special brass alloy that is hard and has a high tensile strength. The holes for the journals are reamed and smoothed after lacquering and then receive an oil sink. Pinions are made of high-quality steel or stainless steel. Fast turning pinions are hardened. All journals are roller burnished in a special process. The HTU and HSU movements feature thirty-two bronze-bushings and twelve jewels in critical positions. The gears are made of very tough and hard brass alloy with a tensile strength of 62 kp/mm². A high level of corrosion protection for all components is assured. Brass components are pickled and receive a coat of clear lacquer. Steel components are made from stainless steel or receive a galvanic nickel coating. Each movement also has a laser engraved serial number.

We fully expect that every Oakside longcase clock will become a family heirloom, passing through many generations - we therefore take great care to ensure, that every part of the clock is built to the highest possible standards, using the finest mechanical clock movements, workmanship and materials!
