I operate my repair shop in the basement area of my home as this provides the best work area as far as heating
and lighting, plus it gives my customers a good chance to see the procedures in which their clocks undergo during the repair
process.
I use a large tool chuck type lathe that is capable of turning out very large items. Extensive hours
have been spent modifying the head and tail stock to be able to handle the most delicate of turning tasks.........even to
the point of re-pivoting the escape wheel arbor of a midget 400 day clock. My shop is complete with all the equipment needed
to Horologic-ally Manufacture parts that are no longer available through the common supply houses. I utilize a
small watchmakers lathe for those most delicate of tasks, such as hand turning balance staffs for pocket watches and
that for the wrist watch.
Servicing any type of antique and/or vintage timepiece. Specializing in 400 day anniversary
clocks, I repair and completely restore any clock you might have. With the technology available today, restoration
of an original paper dial that's badly stained, discolored, torn or has the commonly found, clock hand scrapes along
the chapter ring. Putting the original dials image on the PC and enhancing the problem areas, bringing the dial color
back to original appearance. Remove all stains, tears, fading etc, then sealing the new dial to prevent fading and any
smudging. Below are two photos of an Junghans dial, one shows the original state of the dial, the other shows the finished
enhancement. Enhancing allows to keep the original dials format, trademark names, signatures, time track design, etc. A nice
alternative to having the original dial removed and replaced with a generic dial.
Thank you for your time.
