No, you’re OK, you have to let it chime on the half hr. if you are trying set it for an example at 9 & you don’t stop & let it chime on the half hr. then when you stop at 9:00 it’ll chime 10 times, or at 10:00 then you’ll be still an hr. off. But like I said there’s different kinds of movements & maybe you could be right just spin the hands around until you get the time you want. But I’ll BET you it won’t strike the hr. you want. Grandfather clock aren’t like a clock you have hanging on your wall or sitting on your night stand. They’re more complicated than you think!
