If your mechanical clock has stopped running, we are here to restore it to working condition. Our second-floor workshop is entirely dedicated to clock repair, and our expertise—honed over years and passed down from master craftsmen—ensures that your clock receives the highest level of care.
All repairs are completed in-house, eliminating the need to ship your clock elsewhere. Recognized by the Horological Association of Virginia for excellence, we have been training the next generation in the craft.

Common Movement Issues
What are some common issues that require repairs, and how are those problems solved?
Worn Out Bearings Surfaces
Eventually, all mechanical clocks will experience wear at the points that gears pivot inside the plates of movement. This is resolved by precisely drilling and replacing these worn holes with brand new bushing inserts that allow the gears to continue spinning like new. Servicing your clock movement every 2-3 years will help prevent this kind of wearing and add years to your clock's movement.
Broken Mainspring
Springs inside a movement compress and decompress to provide power, and can eventually snap or break. Springs can be fixed or replaced with new springs.
Worn Gear Tooth or Cracks
As gears grind against each other for decades, they may begin to wear, or even break a tooth. These gears can be fixed, replaced, or even crafted from solid brass from scratch.
