Clock repair, done right.
Antique, grandfather, mechanical, mantel, wall, and heirloom clock repair — Des Moines and Central Iowa.
Clock repair by type
Repair by clock type.
Grandfather clock repair
Longcase and tall-case clocks with weights, chimes, and pendulum work. From simple regulation to full movement service, done with patience and the right tools.
Mantel clock repair
Shelf and mantel clocks of every era, from small key-wound movements to ornate figural cases. Case, dial, and movement each get the attention they need.
Wall clock repair
Regulators, Westminster wall clocks, kitchen and schoolhouse clocks. Rehung, rewound, and set back into rhythm.
Antique clock repair
Century-old pieces and clocks other shops may not be comfortable with. Every antique gets treated with respect for its original character.
Vintage clock repair
Twentieth-century clocks — the ones a grandchild inherited and wants ticking again. Repaired to keep them running and to keep them theirs.
Mechanical clock repair
Key-wound and weight-driven mechanical movements cleaned, bushed, adjusted, and regulated. No electronic conversions — mechanical clocks stay mechanical.
Component work
The parts inside.
Movement repair
Full movement service: cleaning, bushing worn pivots, adjusting the escapement, and regulating for accurate time.
Chime repair & adjustment
Westminster chimes, hour and quarter strikes tuned back to the sound they were meant to make.
Pendulum repair
Pendulum work, rod straightening, bob adjustments, and suspension spring repair or replacement.
Cleaning & maintenance
Routine cleaning and lubrication of mechanical clocks. A clock that runs quietly and reliably will last decades longer.
Restoration & trade
Restoration, buying, and selling.
Restoration of antique & heirloom clocks
Full restoration for antique and family-heirloom clocks. Original parts stay when they can. Every restoration is a conversation about how far to take the work.
Sale of restored antique & vintage clocks
A small selection of restored antique and vintage clocks are available for sale. Each has been through the shop and is ready to run.
Purchase of old clocks
Keith buys old clocks — mechanical, antique, or vintage. Call to talk about what you have.
Clocks accepted for parts
Clocks that aren't practical to repair may still be worth keeping alive as parts for the next repair. Call to discuss.
Pricing
Call for a quote.
Because every antique and mechanical clock is different, pricing depends on the type of clock, its condition, and the repair or restoration work needed.
