Discover 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.
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.
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.
Some of the towns for this service are Crystal River,Homosassa, Inglis, Yankeetown, Dunnellon, Ocala, Lecanto, Inverness, and surrounding areas.
To get more information, use the repair form below. Simply leave your name and email. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Of course, you can also drop your clock off for repair if you prefer.
If there are no clock repair services in your area, clocks may be shipped directly to me for repair. Please contact me via the repair form below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Ask your clock repair question here. Please be as specific and detailed as possible. A picture of your clock, or the problem, if possible will help me with your question. Vague or incomplete questions will not be posted. I will answer to the best of my ability as soon as possible. I also encourage other clock professionals to provide their comments.
