Clockwise Antique Clocks has spent decades restoring antique clocks for clients across Painswick and Gloucestershire. As a family-run workshop, we combine traditional craftsmanship with specialist tools to return every clock to full working order while protecting its originality and charm.

Restoring Painswick’s Antique Timepieces

Each restoration begins with a detailed inspection of the clock’s movement, followed by a complete strip-down and ultrasonic clean to remove decades of dirt and aged oil. We then repair, polish, and rebush worn parts, or manufacture replacements when necessary using period-correct methods to ensure the mechanism remains historically faithful.

After reassembly, the movement is lubricated with high-grade oils, tested over several weeks, and finely adjusted for accurate performance. Our work also covers dial and case restoration, including re-silvering brass dials, re-lacquering, or French polishing wooden cases to their original finish.

Whether it’s a family heirloom or a fine collector’s piece, our Painswick clients rely on our attention to detail, horological expertise, and dedication to authentic restoration. Every project is handled with the same care as if it were our own.
