About Keith
A patient old-school craftsman.
Keith's Clock Restoration grew out of a love and appreciation for old clocks and the craftsmanship that went into making them. What started with repairing and restoring vintage clocks became an opportunity to help other people preserve clocks that have history, character, and often generations of family memories behind them.
The goal is simple: bring these clocks back to life and keep them running for years to come.
