After our workshop completed the restoration of the French "Romanet Mobier FFR" clock and reassembled to run, it passed it's initial test with flying colours.
This version of the FFR 4 chime clocks that has the " The High Steeple, On Waves Of Blue, The Westminster and The Ave Maria Lourdes chimes" is different from the other version that has, The Angelus de la Mer ( Angelus of the Sea), the La Paimpalose, the Ave Maria Lourdes And The Westminster chimes.
In this version the chimes are generally softer but not as soft when I acquired the clock, so I sent it for full restoration, but it came back fairly well serviced but the Chime problem unsolved, and that is when I appointed my own backroom, the pictures of the workshop are on this page take a look.
My backroom is fully equipped to do the best job required for clocks and even wrist watches.
I guess the previous mechanic used the wrong brass for the replacement, after checking we found out and replaced the entire bushing, the replacement bushings by the last repairer was of softer brass, that affected the transmission ability, turned loose and affected the power of the strike.
Now it works very well.
Should be completed in 2 weeks after complete tests.I sang Auld Lang Syne when I was 6 years old I am 77 today and still sing it on occasions including at midnight on31st December, So stop this guessing game I am no idiot.
Thinking
I understand your frustration and I sincerely apologize for the guessing game. I should have verified the information more thoroughly from the start. You are clearly knowledgeable about these clocks and the specific tunes they play.
Please accept my apologies for my previous inaccuracies. Here are the four chimes for your Romanet Mobier FFR 4-chime clock:

MAIN SPRINGS ARE THE HEART OF YOUR SPRING DRIVEN CLOCKS, IT’S WHAT MAKES YOUR CLOCKS TICK.
Don’t try and save on changing main springs and chime and strike springs on your clocks – you’re only courting disaster.
1. Release the power of the spring that requires change.
2. Remove the barrel, if you have not done this before don’t even try it, its extremely dangerous and cause serious hurt to you and those around you take it to a qualified clock technician.
3. Measure the length, width, and strength of the spring.
4. To measure the strength you’ll require a micrometer. The thickness of the spring is its strength.
5. Replacement . Always use a spring of the same strength or one that is about +- 5% in thickness, the lower it is the better, try the lower – option so that it is not too strong for the gear train as it may damage the gears with too much tension. Anything more than 5% is disaster waiting to happen, many clock repairers use back the old broken spring by punching a whole on the hole end. The problem with that is your clock will run for a shorter span of time.
6. If you can’t find the exact spring with the same strength, try consulting us, we’ll try and find you one. You have to give us the proper measurements meaning; internal height of the spring barrel, measured with a digital caliper, the height of the spring also measured with the caliper, and the thickness of the spring measured with a micrometer. The length can be determined on our end if you can’t measure it but please provide the diameter of the spring barrel.
7. Clock technicians normally try and reuse the old broken spring by punching a new hole at the point the old spring is broken. This is not safe, some technicians try and heat the end with a blow torch trying to anneal the end. Unless you can measure the correct heat to anneal the metal depending on the composition of the metal you use and the correct time to apply that heat to the metal spring, you are courting trouble and putting your drive train at risk. Annealing requires proper metallurgical advice and even ewe Are not qualified, So our advice is to use a new spring and keep your antique clock which may well be an heirloom safe and working in good order.
8. In Kienzle and some other German brands you’ll find you have strong springs especially for the chime barrels, this is secured by two clicks to hold the barrel in place if the spring bursts or a wheel breaks, but makes winding these clocks a bit of a task, it’s a safety feature in all respects.

OUR ADVICE
If you have a broken spring and require a new one contact us, at +60162203771 or send us a message here.

Wanting to restore your Clocks?
Contact us, we specialise in restoration of antique clocks.

We do not do the huge Grandfather clocks yet and neither do we do grandmother clocks, although we can offer advice for them.

Grandfather clocks are those placed on the floor and typically about 6 feet tall.
We specialise in Two train, three train, single keyhole spring driven regulators or what is known as wall clocks.

We also service and repair Vienna Regulators and their successors also Austrian and later the German versions. These are weight driven, the original Vienna clock is driven by a single weight and is a precision piece.

Later versions later made mainly by Germans came with up to 3 weights some dubbed Blind Man's clock others even with the Westminster Chime.
Mantle clocks the famous French ornamental clocks etc

We have specialists for case work and specialist for the movements.
Restoring wood is a speciality, sometimes requiring special skills of artisans to rebuild or repatch the destroyed parts retaining as much of the original as possible, to retain the integrity of the antique piece.

We also have skilled craftsmen who can repair or remake broken wheels and gears.

We use the best bushes if your pivot holes which is quite usually worn out, and often developing an oval shape subsequently affecting the accuracy of the clock and if not checked can result in further long term defects.

Many clock repairers try to use heat and thin out the metal in the area and fix the problem and that actually does long term damage to the clock.
Others solder a piece of similar metal over the hole and then even our that surface by sanding it and make a new hole most often off centered.

Bushing with the proper tools is the professional and best long term solution for the clock.

We use bushes made by our artisans, or Swiss made bushes for our work.

Remember your antique could be more then 100 years old and to add value to it has to be serviced at regular intervals normally 5 to 7 years using Oil that does not harden to lubricate it, we offer proper professional repairs to let it last and should it develop problems in time it is still in condition for good repair.

Cheap alternatives only shortens the life of your valuable time piece and shortens the time it can really be worth anything at all.

The older the clock the higher the value and higher still as it gets rarer depending on its condition of course.

Call us if you have a problem.
