Over-winding will not cause a clock to stop. If a clock stops when it is fully wound, it is an indicator that there are other serious problems. Having said that, don’t try to wind a clock past where you feel it stop winding. You can stress the mainspring, and eventually it may break.

I have an antique clock set in a beautiful brass statue. It was working fine, but it has stopped chiming. The clock is still working well. When I looked inside it on "the hour" I saw the little hammer try to strike the plate, but no sound came out.. What can I do to repair it. It had been working very well, but I may have moved it a little bit and knocked something (I don't know what) out of place.
