Expert Antique Clock Repairs in Gloucester

Each antique clock is unique, with its own challenges and intricacies. At Clockwise Antique Clocks, we approach every repair as a labour of love. The restoration process begins by carefully removing the clock’s movement from its case and dismantling it for thorough inspection. After identifying any wear or damage, the mechanism is meticulously cleaned in an ultrasonic tank using fine solvents to remove built-up grime.

If components such as pivots, pallet faces, or gears are too worn, they are either restored or hand-crafted to ensure the clock retains its historical integrity. Once every part has been inspected and restored, the mechanism is reassembled, re-oiled with precision lubricants, and tested extensively to guarantee accuracy. After being re-cased, the testing continues to ensure it is running perfectly.

Our expertise doesn’t stop with the inner workings of the clock. From a gentle polish and waxing to full case restoration with traditional French polishing and veneering techniques, the exterior of your clock will be cared for just as meticulously. We also offer dial re-silvering or repainting to restore the clock’s original beauty while respecting its historical character.
