Professional and Honest Clock RepairDiscover Clocks' provides expert and honest clock repair services for most antique, vintage and newer model mechanical clocks. I began collecting clocks many years ago as a hobby and as a result of the many clocks I took in for repair, I eventually became friends with a master clock maker. He taught me the trade over the next several years. I found out that I really liked working on clocks and have been doing it ever since.
In 2006, I moved to Florida and started buying, selling, and repairing clocks in the Crystal River area. Hopefully, this move will turn out well; it's too soon to know. Your Clock Repair QuestionBefore I get into my repair service, let me share a service offered here for those of you who would like to ask a clock repair question. Many times, there is a very simple defect, that you can repair yourself to save your clock a trip to the shop.So I thought a great way to save you time and money would be to have a forum where you can ask your question before taking your clock to a shop. I will answer your questions if they are clearly stated with specifics about the clock type and the problem you are having. Also, I invite any other visitor here with the knowledge to answer your question to feel free to help by commenting. You can ask your question here.

Clock Repair ServiceAll clocks that come in for repair will be evaluated before repairs are made and the owner contacted for approval of work needed. As a clock collector myself, I know that the decision to repair a clock or not can only be made by the owner of the clock. Only they can know what their clock is worth to them.It is important to have a clock serviced every few years. Even though a clock will usually run for decades without it, damage is being done to the pivots, gears, and bushings every day they are rum dry or dirty. If a clock has been run this way for a long period it will most likely need a complete overhaul. Our overhauls consist of: dis-assembly and inspection of all parts, polishing of pivots, worn bushings replaced, ultrasonic cleaning, mainsprings replaced (if needed) and lubricated with mainspring grease, oiling with high quality clock oil, adjustment of escapement, re-timing, and an inspection of the case parts such as glass, hinges, hangers, etc. Then, after reassembly, the clock is tested for at least a week. Watch Repair Discover Clocks is affiliated with an AWI Certified Watchmaker for some major repairs. Free Estimates are available.
