Professional Clockmaking & Watchmaking Experience Since 1987
Mechanical Clock Overhauls & Restoration
A mechanical clock relies on gears, pivots, springs, and an escapement working together. Over time, old oil, dust, and wear can affect how a movement runs, chimes, or strikes.
During an overhaul, the movement is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and lubricated. Worn components are repaired or replaced as needed, and the clock is reassembled, adjusted, and tested.
Restoration work is planned individually, with care to preserve original components and character whenever practical.

How it works
Our Repair Process
Every clock is evaluated individually before work begins. The work recommended depends on the individual clock and the findings of its evaluation.
We give careful consideration to preserving original components, finishes, and character. Cosmetic restoration is performed upon request rather than treated as an automatic part of every repair.
