Cuckoo clocks were inspired by the traditions of Germany’s Black Forest region in the 18th century, where local craftsmen combined their skill in woodcarving with mechanical ingenuity to create clocks that not only told time but also entertained. The idea of using a cuckoo bird to announce the hour was both practical and whimsical, as the sound was easy to reproduce mechanically and tied to nature, which resonated with rural life. Over time, cuckoo clocks became increasingly ornate, with hand-carved leaves, animals, and chalet scenes, turning them into souvenirs and symbols of craftsmanship, storytelling, and the charm of alpine culture.

Heartfelt Testimonials on Clock Repair
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
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.

MECHANICAL CLOCK REPAIRS BY TIMES TICKING
Expert Care for Every Clock Style & Collection
Anniversary clocks were inspired by the desire to create a mechanical timepiece that required very little winding, offering convenience and elegance as a display piece in the home. Invented in the mid-19th century and powered by a torsion pendulum, these clocks could run up to 400 days on a single wind, which made them perfect for gifting on special occasions—especially anniversaries, where couples could wind the clock once a year to mark the date. Their signature glass dome both showcased the delicate rotating pendulum and protected the movement, turning them into decorative symbols of longevity, celebration, and enduring time.

Mantel clocks were inspired by the rise of domestic living spaces in 18th-century Europe, where families wanted smaller, decorative timepieces that could sit on a fireplace mantel or shelf instead of taking up floor or wall space. As homes grew more refined, these clocks became both practical household tools and status symbols, with ornate cases crafted from wood, marble, or brass. They balanced accuracy with artistry, reflecting the growing desire for timekeeping that was not only functional but also a centerpiece of interior décor.

Ship’s clocks were inspired by the critical need for precise and durable timekeeping at sea, where navigation and coordination depended heavily on accurate clocks. Beginning in the 18th century with marine chronometers, these instruments allowed sailors to calculate longitude and safely cross oceans. Over time, the concept was adapted into rugged brass ship’s clocks designed to withstand salt air, humidity, and the motion of a vessel while remaining easy to read and reliable in harsh conditions. Their design reflects both utility and tradition, symbolizing safety, precision, and maritime heritage.

Wall clocks were inspired by the need for a reliable and highly visible way to keep time in both public and private spaces. As mechanical clockmaking advanced in the 17th and 18th centuries, weight-driven pendulum clocks were adapted from large tower clocks into more compact designs that could hang on a wall, making them easier to read and maintain. They became essential in schools, factories, train stations, and offices where accuracy and visibility were critical, especially regulators that provided precise time for coordinating daily life and industry. Over time, wall clocks also became decorative household pieces, blending practicality with design.

HISTORY OF MECHANICAL CLOCKS
The Legacy of Mechanical Clocks: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation
Mechanical clocks first emerged in Europe during the late 13th century, evolving from earlier water clocks and astronomical devices as craftsmen sought more accurate ways to measure time. Powered by weights and regulated by verge-and-foliot escapements, these early tower clocks struck bells to mark the hours for entire communities rather than displaying time on dials. Over the 14th and 15th centuries, improvements in gear trains and escapements led to smaller, more precise domestic clocks, while the invention of the pendulum by Christiaan Huygens in 1656 revolutionized accuracy and set a new standard for mechanical timekeeping. By the 18th and 19th centuries, mass production in centers like England, Germany, and the United States made clocks widely affordable, turning them into both practical household tools and decorative objects.
Today, even with the rise of quartz and digital technology, mechanical clocks are still celebrated as enduring symbols of craftsmanship, ingenuity, and the artistry of traditional timekeeping.
