Hi
They have been a novelty item just about as long as people have made clocks.
Exactly what they do or do not have for adjustment capability would be very much
a “that depends” kind of thing. There must be some method of getting the beast
up to sync. It *could* be pretty involved.

My father and I were @ a Costco quite some time ago and there was a very
nice clock with full Westminster chimes & moon phase. Drove the wife
nuts that we stood around fiddling with it to get it set properly and
back in phase with the other dials.
One of those things that sticks in your gut sometimes if you're a time
nut. My dad was my original time nut. He found out that he could take
pocket watches apart when he was a kid and get them running again (1930s).
Fathers Day plug as well. Miss him a lot
thanks

One thing that may be missing is that the clocks involved also keep track of
other things (date, lunar phase, sunrise / sunset …). Forcing them to gain
or loose a day might mess some of that up.
I haven't worked with that sort of clock. I would expect they would have
some mechanism to set the clock back without damaging things. Do they?
