Our Work & Info

I get questions about what is involved in servicing mechanical clocks. It’s no fast process. Think about it like changing oil in your car. You don’t keep adding oil till it stops….it WILL stop. You have to get the old oil out. You can only do that by completely taking it all apart and cleaning it with the right ultrasonic solution. Especially any springs mounted inside winding spring barrels that require special tools to remove/reinstall them properly without destroying them. After it is properly dried, any warn parts need to be repaired after inspection. This takes time and machine work fitting bushings to repair any round holes worn oblong. Any rotating shaft ends are polished or replaced. New brass tension wires fitted if applicable. Special attention to chime timing configuration is required. Proper oil and grease is applied properly in the correct places. Then observe it in testing/running on a test stand for up to a week or so. I won’t do it any other way….
