It was wonderful all around. The work was done to perfection. The clock works perfectly and looks spectacular. They also took the time to teach me how to properly work the clock to keep everything running smooth.

The Eclipse Regulator clock is a family heirloom. It has been passed through the family since the early 1900s and was in nearly pristine condition until it was caught up in hurricane Sandy. I know this is California but the clock was in storage with a NY relative when the storm hit.

The clock was fully submerged for some time on the night of the storm then lay in the salty mess for days during the recovery. By the time we got to it all we could do was wipe it down and wrap it up for storage.

Several years later we finally got up the courage and money to unwrap the clock. The wood was nearly white in some places from water damage, the face was beyond repair, and every piece of metal was pitted or rusted, including the movement itself.

Clock Specialists initially advised me that the repair was likely as much as the value of the clock. When I explained that it was one of the last threads to a family that was mostly gone, he took it to heart. He, and his family, took loving care of the clock. With the exception of the face, which needed to be replaced, every piece of the clock was kept original.

The wood looks nearly new, the movement shines and runs like it is just from the factory, the hands are perfect, and the chime rings again. From lost and deserted in a dark closet it is once again going on our wall.

Clock specialists not only repaired an heirloom, they helped us keep a tie to the past. The work was fantastic.

Everything was working great for 1 week, until it stopped. I called him to follow up and he gave advice to adjust the pendulum. It started ticking afterwards, worked for a little while longer, then stopped. He said he would come back out for a service call but I declined. There was no guarantee after paying for the repair.

Greg found the problem immediately and performed a repair along with a long overdue cleaning and adjustment.  He's knowledgeable, professional and courteous.  Recommend The Clock Specialist highly.

It was fairly easy to make an appointment. The owner asked me all the appropriate questions on the phone prior to my appointment and knew just what to do when he arrived. He was punctual and very pleasant to deal with. He obviously knew what he was doing and showed me where my clock had become damaged. He fixed it and realigned it. Then he gave it a tune up. Now it runs good as new. I will definitely call him to come back when it is time for another service call.

I had several watches that weren't working because the batteries had died.   All of the batteries were quickly replaced at The Watch Specialist.   I was impressed by the speed and quality of the service.   Also, the friendliness.   I definitely recommend this company!

I have a clock that I paid quite a bit for.  I liked the way it looked, but it quickly stopped telling time.   Since I couldn't return it, I took it to The Clock Specialist to repair.  It's clear that they really know their stuff!   It was explained to me that the mechanism inside the clock was faulty (and had always been) and needed repair... and a completely new, lighter second hand, as the existing one was far too heavy for my clock.

Now my clock looks good and works perfectly!   I couldn't be more pleased.

They were very good. They started in September and it was done in December. It took a little time, but with antique clocks it takes time. They were very attentive and in the end everything worked out fine.

Brought the clock in after it hadn't worked for years.  Greg was able to get it fixed, and also gave me valuable tips on how to care for the antique wood housing the clock.
Response from The Clock Specialist
"Thanks for your honest input."
