Clocks began with ancient timekeeping methods like sundials, water clocks, and hourglasses, evolving into mechanical clocks in the 14th century, driven by weight-powered mechanisms often used in public towers. The invention of the pendulum in 1656 by Christiaan Huygens improved accuracy, leading to innovations like longcase clocks and marine chronometers.

The Industrial Revolution enabled mass production, making clocks more accessible, while the 20th century introduced electric and quartz clocks, revolutionizing precision and affordability. Today, clocks range from traditional mechanical designs to modern, showcasing humanity’s ongoing effort to master time.

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

Kelly Morris ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great place to get your cuckoo clock fixed. From the moment my clock arrived to when I received it back home, they called to let me know the status of the fix. They also worked hard to find an acceptable solution for getting my clock back in tick-tock shape without spending a fortune. I was happy there were alternatives and now my clock is back home and we are enjoying our favorite cuckoo clock, again.

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.

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.

CLOCK REPAIRS BY TIMES TICKING

Expert Care for Every Clock Style & Collection

Chiming Clock Repair >

The chiming clock stemmed from the desire to audibly mark the passage of time, making it easier for people to keep track of hours without needing to look at a clock. Influenced by the striking mechanisms of early tower clocks, which announced the time to entire communities, chiming clocks brought this functionality indoors. Developed during the 17th century, these clocks were inspired by advancements in mechanical engineering and an appreciation for the harmonious integration of sound and timekeeping. Chiming clocks evolved into decorative and prestigious items, symbolizing craftsmanship, innovation, and the beauty of musical timekeeping.

Cuckoo Clock Repair >

The cuckoo clock traces back to the Black Forest region of Germany in the 17th century, where clockmakers sought to create distinctive timepieces to showcase their craftsmanship. Drawing from local folklore, nature, and traditional Bavarian culture, they integrated the cuckoo bird, a familiar and symbolic figure in the region, to announce the hours. The bird’s call was both practical and charming, adding a whimsical element to these clocks. Over time, elaborate carvings depicting forest scenes, wildlife, and pastoral life further enriched the design, solidifying the cuckoo clock as a timeless blend of artistry and functionality.

Mantel Clock Repair >

Emerging in the 18th century, these clocks were influenced by the ornate design trends of the period, blending practicality with aesthetic appeal.

Mechanical Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the mechanical clock stemmed from the need for a more accurate and automated method of timekeeping compared to earlier devices like sundials and water clocks. Emerging in the 14th century, mechanical clocks were driven by advancements in engineering and the desire for continuous, reliable time measurement, especially in monasteries where they regulated prayer schedules. Inspired by the complex gears and mechanisms used in astronomical instruments, early clockmakers developed weight-driven systems with escapements to regulate motion. These clocks represented a leap in precision and technology, laying the foundation for modern timekeeping and symbolizing humanity’s quest to master time.

Regulator Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the regulator clock came from the need for highly accurate timekeeping devices in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly for scientific, industrial, and public use. These clocks were designed with precision in mind, often using weight-driven movements, long pendulums, and minimal friction to ensure consistent performance. Influenced by advancements in horology and the increasing demand for synchronized time in settings like train stations, schools, and factories, regulator clocks prioritized functionality and reliability. Their clean designs and accurate mechanisms made them symbols of practicality and craftsmanship, serving as the standard for timekeeping excellence during their era.

Ship's Bell Clock Repair >

The ship’s bell clock came from the maritime need for a reliable timekeeping device that could audibly signal the division of watches (work shifts) aboard ships. Rooted in the tradition of using bells to mark time at sea, the ship’s bell clock replicated this functionality in a compact, mechanical form. Each chime pattern corresponded to a specific interval within the ship’s four-hour watch system, ensuring sailors stayed synchronized without visual cues. Influenced by the rugged conditions of maritime environments, these clocks were designed to be durable, precise, and easy to hear, becoming essential tools for navigation and daily operations aboard vessels.

Their design was influenced by advancements in mechanical movements and the growing demand for accessible timepieces during the Industrial Revolution. Wall clocks symbolized practicality and efficiency, often featuring ornate or minimalist styles to complement their surroundings, blending utility with aesthetic appeal.
