Clock and Watch services

A clock overhaul consists of the total dismantling of the movement, inspection of every pivot and every bushing hole to determine the best coarse of action with the repair process. Sometimes with broken mainsprings there is damage to the wheel train on the pinions and pivots, all this is looked over with magnification. If the clock is antique a change of the mainspring is required as the springs are often badly worn and they loose they elasticity. Then we manually clean the clock parts with cotton cloth and pegwood to be sure we get off all the old oil that has solified and became an abrasive rather than a lubricant. This tedious proccess is then followed by pivot polishing and rebushing, where it is required . After all this, its time for the ultrasonic cleaning machine with the clock cleaning solution. Then rinsing is required followed by the drying process. Every clock piece including the brass plate will be polished. Then comes the rebuilding of the clock movement piece by piece and then testing for a week. If it fails the testing, all this is done again if needed.
