The bell would strike 8 times (actually 4 pairs of 2) with a slight pause between each pair to signal the start of a new watch. On the next half hour, there would be a single bell strike and then on the hour a strike of 1 pair indicating 1 hour of the watch was completed. This sequence would continue increasing every hour and half hour until the end of the watch when it would again strike the 4 pairs. This clock is in very good condition and runs and strikes well.
