CLOCK REPAIR

There are always leading indicators that your clock is in need of an overhaul and not just a minor clock lubrication service. The main one is when the oil point contains black or green residue. This residue/abrasive compound is a mixture of old oil and brass powder, which is a possible sign your clock needs re-bushing.

All clock movements we overhaul go through a lengthy process to ensure all problems get addressed. After an overhaul, your clock will look like it did when it was new.

Some of processes we may go through with your clock:

Remove your clock's movement from the case.
Inspect the movement for signs of wear.
Fully disassemble the movement.
Clean individual movement parts in an ultrasonic cleaner using a specialised clock repair cleaning solution.
Dress and polish all pivots.
Perform all clock repairs and re-bushings.
Individually test the gear trains.
Assemble the movement, perform an oiling, and make all necessary adjustments.
Run the movement for a full cycle in a testing stand while being monitored making the necessary timing adjustments as neccessary.
Mount the movement back in the case and run your fully assembled clock for around one week.
Return the clock to you or arrange for collection.
