Hello,
if your clocks a 40 minutes slow in, lets say, 12 hours, you have an immense error of arount 5%.
It is (40 minutes / 720 minutes) * 100%, am I right?.
That is so much, that you should be able to verify that with a stopwatch. Take the time for 100 pendulum swings of the correct watch and compare it to the others.
However, it don't think, the pendulum is the cause, the swingtime is just physics.
Maybe, there is some slipping internally? I'd check the friction clutch.
Good luck, Frank
