The concept of chimes on clocks can be traced back to the 13th century, with the development of mechanical clocks in Europe. The first known clock to incorporate chimes was created by Giovanni de Dondi in the 14th century. However, it was the later advancements by clockmakers, such as the addition of the Westminster chime by Joseph Williamson in the 19th century, that popularized chimes in clocks. Thus, while there isn't a single inventor, various clockmakers contributed to the evolution of chimes in clock design.

To adjust the chimes on a Westminster clock, locate the hammer adjustment nut usually found on the back of the movement. Use a clock key to turn the nut clockwise to increase the volume of the chimes or counterclockwise to decrease it. Make small adjustments and listen to the chimes until you reach the desired volume.
To turn off the chimes on a grandfather clock, you typically need to stop the clock from chiming at the specific times by adjusting the chime selector lever. This lever is usually located inside the clock case near the movement mechanism. Move the lever to the silent position to mute the chimes. Consulting the clock's manual or contacting a professional for assistance may be necessary if you are unsure about how to turn off the chimes.

To reset the chimes on a Howard Miller grandfather clock, first ensure that the clock is set to the correct time. Locate the chime adjustment lever, often found on the side or back of the clock, and set it to the desired chime sequence (e.g., Westminster, Whittington). If the chimes are out of sync, you may need to manually advance the minute hand to the next quarter hour to realign the chimes. Finally, ensure the clock is level and functioning correctly to maintain accurate chime operation.

To set a clock with chimes, first ensure it is fully wound if it's a mechanical clock. Next, set the correct time by gently turning the hour and minute hands, ideally moving only the minute hand to avoid damaging the mechanism. Once the time is set, check the chime function by pulling the chime lever or switch, if available, to ensure it is activated. Finally, confirm that the clock chimes at the correct times by listening for the chimes at the hour and half-hour marks.
