    I have the one at the top, but with roman numbers. Just made a comment on this site about it not working because of the coil.

    • The clock spring is fully wound and the clock movement is probably dirty or faulty preventing it from releasing and working the clock. The only way to resolve this is to find a clock repairer who is prepared to take a look for you. Bear in mind that lots of clock repairers do not like working on small mass produced clocks.
