Antique Clock Repairer
Clock parts wear out after 30 to 50 years, as the controller no longer gives the correct signal and begins
to lose time. Wind and ice also
put a strain on the hands and strain the motor, which eventually breaks down.
No matter what brand of clock you have, we have the parts to repair it.
Automation of Antique Clocks
Some ancient clocks are as old as 350 years old and rely on counterweights to keep time. The vergers religiously pulled the counterweights to ensure that the village clock struck the Angelus at the correct hour, with all villagers relying on its indication to tell their time.
Today, these pendulum clocks are automated by GPS, which, connected to a motor, ensures that they always have the correct time. We replace the counterweights with a durable clock motor.
Inspection and Maintenance of Clock Towers
During the inspection, our expert ensures that everything is working as it should. If any changes need to be made, we send our client a quote with the desired corrections. For example, we can repaint discolored clock hands, lubricate moving mechanisms, adjust gears, and tighten locks.
Clock Tower Maintenance
We keep a running record of the clock that we refer to when our customer calls us, which allows us to quickly identify the problem and bring the necessary parts to repair the clock. We notify our customers in the spring when we plan to be in their area so we can include them in our tour and save on transportation costs.
