David Keeler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Seth Thomas clock is a family heirloom – it was given to my grandfather in the 1950’s as a recognition for his community service. It fell from my fireplace mantel and was damaged. I was fortunate to find Times Ticking on the Internet. They did a wonderful job repairing and restoring my clock which now sits proudly on my mantel again. I could not be more pleased with the quality of work and the helpfulness offered at every point in the process. This is truly a professional organization which I highly recommend to anyone needing their services.

Peter Wilson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trusted a very sentimental clock to Times Ticking for refurbishment. Spoke on the phone and immediately felt that they were the right company. They explained the process to us and the turn around time. We received our clock back in the agreed time frame and were amazed at the quality of repair not only to the clock casing but the clock works as if new. The clock belonged to my father in law who passed recently, we placed the clock on the mantle and my 92 year old mother in law heard the chimes and it brought tears to her eyes and a smile to her face. THANK YOU for that gift. 10 out of 10

Sterling Foster ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have a vintage 1910 Seth Thomas Marine Clock which was given to my grandfather. It’s been passed down through generations. The clock always worked perfectly until last year when a critical part of the clock’s works broke. I couldn’t find a clockmaker to fix it locally because no one could get replacement parts. I became aware of Ticking Times and read their reviews which were excellent. I shipped the clock to them out in Utah. About seven weeks later they shipped the clock back to me. I’m delighted with their work. The clock is running perfectly now. I’d recommend Ticking Times highly. They’re also very nice people to deal with and they always return calls.

Rebecca Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wonderful attention to detail, careful diligence, and reasonably priced. My clock is working "like new" and I am so pleased.

Susan Runk ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My parents own a schoolhouse circa 1870’s that I had cleaned for their 60th anniversary. The job was done on time at the exact price quoted, I would trust no one else with my clocks. The staff was very friendly and communicated with me when the job was complete. Thanks for the great work!! I’ll be back for sure.

Peter Vroom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was initially hesitant to send off a clock to another state without personally visiting a physical store. However, the staff at Times Ticking immediately contacted me once the clock was received and provided a quote and estimated timeline to fix. I received the fixed clock back through the mail much earlier than anticipated and in wonderful working condition! Despite being over 100 years old, the clock mechanism looks almost brand new after cleaning and repair. Thank you!

Becky G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so happy with how my Seth Thomas clock turned out! Thanks to Times Ticking I learned that I inherited a priceless 200+ year-old wall clock (with wood gears), and also thanks to Times Ticking I am able to use it to keep time in my office and enjoy hearing the warm “tick tock” while I work. Effective communication, exemplary care with my antique, and reasonable pricing.

Casey Howard ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our old Seth Thomas clock was destined to be passed down to another generation (4th) not working. Thanks to TT for giving it life and a future. They had to totally dismantle it, redo bushings and replace some parts. What a job well done, and a lot of work! Great communicators as well as doing follow up to make sure that all is well. Thank you all at Times Ticking.

ANTIQUE CLOCK REPAIRS BY TIMES TICKING

Expert Care for Every Clock Style & Collection

We specialize in repairing all Antique Clock collections, including:

Antique Bracket Clock Repair >

Bracket clocks were inspired by the pursuit of a refined, portable domestic timepiece that could showcase the precision of spring-driven movements while complementing elegant interior décor; first appearing in late 17th-century England, they were often paired with matching wall brackets for display, hence the name, and featured veneered or gilded wooden cases, intricate dials, and sometimes repeating mechanisms for striking the time on demand, blending horological innovation with the craftsmanship and artistic styles of the Baroque and Georgian periods.

We know that your antique clock is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert clockmakers strive to make sure your clock can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Antique Carriage Clock Repair >

Carriage clocks were inspired by the 19th-century need for accurate, portable timekeeping during travel, particularly for wealthy Europeans journeying by carriage or train; developed in France around the early 1800s, they featured sturdy brass cases with glass panels to protect and display the movement, a convenient carrying handle, and jeweled escapements for precision, embodying both the elegance of fine horology and the practicality demanded by an increasingly mobile society.

Antique Mantel Clock Repair >

Mantel clocks were inspired by the desire for a decorative yet functional timepiece that could be prominently displayed in the home, particularly on fireplace mantels, which became a central focal point in European interiors during the 18th and 19th centuries; clockmakers combined advances in compact spring-driven mechanisms with artistic case designs in wood, marble, porcelain, or gilt bronze, often reflecting prevailing styles such as Rococo, Neoclassical, or Art Nouveau, creating pieces that served both as precise timekeepers and as symbols of taste, refinement, and social status.

Antique Shelf Clock Repair >

Shelf clocks were inspired by the 19th-century goal of providing affordable, compact timepieces for middle-class households, made possible by American clockmakers like Eli Terry and Seth Thomas who pioneered mass production with interchangeable parts; typically housed in wooden or later veneered cases and often decorated with reverse-painted glass panels, these clocks combined dependable brass or earlier wooden movements with decorative appeal, making accurate timekeeping accessible to a much wider audience.

Antique Wall Clock Repair >

Wall clocks were inspired by the need for highly visible, space-saving timepieces that could be mounted in public or domestic settings, allowing people to check the time at a glance without occupying valuable floor or table space; originating in the 17th century and gaining popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries, they ranged from ornate European cartel clocks that doubled as decorative art to precise American regulator clocks used in schools, offices, and train stations, with designs often reflecting both the practical demands of accuracy and the artistic trends of their era.

HISTORY OF ANTIQUE CLOCKS

The Legacy of Antique Clocks

Antique clocks trace their origins to early mechanical timekeeping in the late Middle Ages, when 14th-century European tower clocks used weights, gears, and verge escapements to strike bells for public time. By the 16th and 17th centuries, clockmaking evolved into smaller domestic timepieces—such as lantern clocks in England and ornate table clocks in Germany and Italy—driven by spring mechanisms for portability. The invention of the pendulum by Christiaan Huygens in 1656 revolutionized accuracy, leading to the creation of longcase (grandfather) clocks and refined bracket clocks during the Baroque and Rococo eras. In the 18th and 19th centuries, industrialization and regional styles flourished, from French ormolu mantel clocks and English regulators to American mass-produced wooden shelf clocks by makers like Seth Thomas and Eli Terry.

These timepieces not only marked the hours but also reflected advancements in engineering, artistry, and craftsmanship, with materials, movements, and decorative styles often mirroring the social and technological trends of their era.
