Services & Pricing
At Time and Seasons Clock Repair, we specialize in the careful preservation and proper servicing of traditional mechanical clocks, as well as professional repair and movement replacement for modern quartz clocks.
Mechanical clocks are finely engineered machines that require complete disassembly, thorough cleaning, inspection, and precise reassembly to ensure long-term reliability. Quartz clocks, while electronically driven, still require accurate diagnosis, correct movement selection, and proper installation to function as intended.
We do not perform surface oiling or temporary fixes. Each clock is evaluated individually, and pricing reflects the level of wear, complexity, and craftsmanship required to restore dependable operation.
Every serviced clock is returned with detailed setup instructions and historical background research specific to that clock’s maker and era. Our goal is not only to restore function, but to preserve knowledge — so the clock’s story, significance, and proper care can be passed down alongside it for generations to come.
