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

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.

Expert Care for Every Clock Style & Collection

American Mantel Clock Repair >

American mantel clocks were inspired more by practicality and affordability than aristocratic display, reflecting the needs of a growing middle class in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Makers like Seth Thomas, Ansonia, and Ingraham drew inspiration from European styles but simplified them, producing black marble-look “Adamantine” cases, wooden tambour clocks, and mass-produced parlor clocks that ordinary families could afford. The focus was on reliable, factory-made timekeeping rather than ornate artistry, often with striking or chime features that gave a sense of refinement at a fraction of European costs. This practical, democratic inspiration made American mantel clocks household staples across the country, blending function with accessible style.

We know that your mantel 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.

English Mantel Clock Repair >

English mantel clocks were inspired by refinement, tradition, and architectural balance, often designed to complement the elegant interiors of Georgian and Victorian homes. Drawing on classical influences, they favored bracket and carriage-style forms with clean lines, fine veneers, and brass or silvered dials, reflecting a restrained sense of taste compared to the ornate French approach. Many were built to house high-quality fusee or spring-driven movements, prized for their reliability, and were often finished with decorative details like inlays, ormolu mounts, or arched tops. The inspiration was to create dignified, long-lasting timepieces that symbolized stability and refinement, aligning with Britain’s cultural emphasis on craftsmanship, heritage, and understated elegance.

French Mantel Clock Repair >

French mantel clocks were inspired by a desire to merge precision timekeeping with decorative art, reflecting the tastes of the aristocracy and the cultural movements of 18th- and 19th-century France. Beginning in the Rococo era, clockmakers collaborated with bronze casters and sculptors to create ormolu (gilded bronze) cases filled with curves, cherubs, and mythological figures, turning clocks into symbols of wealth and refinement. As Neoclassicism rose after the mid-1700s, the inspiration shifted to ancient Greece and Rome, with mantel clocks adorned with columns, urns, and allegorical scenes, embodying Enlightenment ideals of reason and order. Later, Romantic and Empire styles introduced heroic figures, Napoleon-inspired motifs, and natural themes, keeping mantel clocks both functional and fashionable as statements of taste in elegant salons and drawing rooms.

German Mantel Clock Repair >

German mantel clocks were inspired by the country’s long tradition of precision engineering and craftsmanship, with makers like Gustav Becker, Junghans, and later Hermle focusing on building reliable, high-quality mechanisms that often emphasized chiming features. Rather than the ornate luxury of French designs or the mass affordability of American clocks, German mantel clocks struck a balance—drawing inspiration from both artistry and function. Many reflected the clean lines of the Biedermeier period, the romanticism of carved wood cases, or the practicality of sturdy bracket and tambour shapes. By the early 20th century, Germany became especially known for its chiming mantel clocks with Westminster or multiple melodies, reflecting both technical mastery and a cultural appreciation for music and craftsmanship in the home.

Swiss Mantel Clock Repair >

Swiss mantel clocks were inspired by the country’s reputation for precision horology, combining meticulous watchmaking techniques with decorative artistry to appeal to collectors and refined households. Unlike the mass-market focus of American makers or the ornate opulence of French designs, Swiss mantel clocks often drew on inspirations from fine jewelry and architecture, featuring elegant cases in marble, enamel, or gilt bronze paired with highly accurate movements. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, some Swiss firms produced mantel clocks with complications such as calendars, automata, or musical features, reflecting the same innovation found in their watchmaking. Their inspiration was to elevate the mantel clock into a luxury object of precision and taste, aligning with Switzerland’s broader role as the epicenter of elite horology.

HISTORY OF MANTEL CLOCKS

The Legacy of Mantel Clocks: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

Mantel clocks, originating in France in the mid-18th century, were designed as compact decorative timepieces meant to sit atop fireplace mantels, sideboards, or shelves, combining both function and artistry. Their cases often reflected the design tastes of their eras—ranging from ornate gilt bronze and marble during the Rococo and Neoclassical periods, to simpler wooden or brass designs in the 19th and 20th centuries. Popularized across Europe and America, they became household staples, valued not only for their reliable mechanical movements but also for their aesthetic role as a centerpiece in domestic interiors.

Today, antique mantel clocks remain cherished by collectors for their craftsmanship, historical charm, and decorative appeal.
