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.
I also utilize a well vented and heated work shop outside the home that allows me to completely restore the clock
case needs as well. From a simple touch up of custom matched stain to full case restoration.
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, I've implemented a technique that allows me to restore
an original 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.
