No components need to be sent since we have everything else here such as weights, dials and pendulums. The clock movement itself is the only item that gets sent to us. There is no one being intrusive in your home and possibly damaging your clock case. It is even more important for us to do your repair than another company because we do not go to your house. We only repair clock movements the hard way with no short cuts.Įven with new clock movements, we inspect them and make sure all is well before shipping them out. There are two ways to fix clocks the easy way and the hard way. We would love to do the clock movement overhaul here at Clockworks and we do the best job. There is a good argument in both directions that makes sense on these expensive new clock movements. We can charge a much lower amount for the complete overhaul on these units. Usually the price is less for the new unit but instead these new clock movements are more costly than the overhaul by Clockworks anyway. This is due to the high price on the new clock movements which is over $1600. The price of a tubular bell new clock movement makes an overhaul more attractive. Another clock movement to consider having restored instead of replacing it is the tubular bell, which is a high end movement. If it is not an easy one to adapt, or would take too much case work, then the best solution is to have us work on it. However we will try to convert it to a new clock movement that is close and easy to adapt. If a new clock movement is not possible, then a repair is most likely the only option. Movements That Would Need a Repair or an Overhaul The new movement will cost a fraction of the price and the clock is up and running in no time. So wouldn't it make sense to get the new clock movement instead of chasing the old? It is not a close replica or made somewhere else besides Germany. The new clock movement will be made by the same people, with the same machines, and the clock movement is the same.

The clock will be like it was originally when you first made the purchase from the store. There is absolutely no way to repair an old clock movement so that it is better than new.Įven the best clockmaker using the best equipment cannot make the clock movement better than a new one.Ī new clock movement is a factory fresh restart.

The new clock movement will be the same one but brand new and ready to run 30 years without much complaint. Mass production makes the movement so affordable it will cost a fraction of the price of the repair work.

If the clock movement is still in production, it is far better to just get the new clock movement.
