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.

SHIP’S CLOCK REPAIRS BY TIMES TICKING

Expert Care for Every Clock Style & Collection

We specialize in repairing all Ship’s Clock collections, including:

Bulkhead Clock Repair >

Bulkhead clocks were inspired by the need for a reliable, space-saving timepiece that could be securely mounted on a ship’s bulkhead (interior wall) to remain visible and functional despite constant motion, vibration, and exposure to salt air; gaining popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries, they were typically housed in heavy-duty brass or bronze cases with sealed glass faces to protect the movement, and were used in cabins, wheelhouses, and other key areas where quick, accurate time checks were essential for navigation, coordination, and daily shipboard routines.

We know that your ship’s 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.

Engine Room Clock Repair >

Engine room clocks were inspired by the need for rugged, highly legible timepieces that could withstand the heat, humidity, vibration, and noise of a ship’s engine room while keeping precise time to coordinate machinery operation and maintenance; typically encased in heavy brass or steel with large, clear dials—often using bold numerals or luminous paint—they became essential in the late 19th and 20th centuries for synchronizing activities between engineering crews and bridge officers, ensuring the smooth and safe running of the vessel’s propulsion systems.

Marine Chronometer Repair >

Marine chronometers were inspired by the urgent 18th-century need to solve the “longitude problem,” where sailors could determine latitude easily but had no accurate way to measure their east–west position at sea; sparked by Britain’s 1714 Longitude Act, which offered a massive prize for a reliable solution, clockmaker John Harrison and others developed highly accurate, temperature-compensated, and motion-resistant timepieces that could keep precise Greenwich Mean Time aboard a moving ship, allowing navigators to calculate longitude by comparing local noon to the chronometer’s fixed reference time.

Navy Ship's Clock Repair >

Navy ship’s clocks were inspired by the military’s need for extremely reliable and durable timekeeping to coordinate complex naval operations, where even minor timing errors could impact navigation, gunnery accuracy, or mission success; developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries, their design drew from both marine chronometers for precision and bulkhead clocks for rugged mounting, resulting in a standardized, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-read timepiece that could maintain accuracy in the demanding, high-vibration, and salt-laden environment of warships.

Ships Bell Clock Repair >

Ship’s bell clocks were inspired by the centuries-old maritime watch system, where crews worked in shifts marked by a sequence of bell strikes every half hour, traditionally up to eight bells for a four-hour watch; developed in the 19th century for both naval and civilian vessels, these robust, often brass-cased clocks featured mechanisms to automatically strike the correct bell pattern, making them essential for coordinating crew duties and maintaining order at sea, while also serving as decorative and functional timepieces in officers’ quarters and later in homes with nautical décor.

HISTORY OF SHIP’S CLOCKS

The Legacy of Ship's Clocks

Ship’s clocks have their origins in the 18th century, evolving from the marine chronometer—a precision instrument developed to solve the problem of determining longitude at sea—into more general-purpose timepieces designed for navigation, duty changes, and onboard coordination. Early ship’s clocks were mounted securely in gimbals to remain level despite a vessel’s motion, often featuring sturdy brass cases to resist corrosion from salt air. By the 19th and early 20th centuries, they became standard equipment on naval and merchant vessels, with designs including 24-hour dials for clear military time, striking mechanisms to signal watch changes, and robust movements built to withstand constant vibration and harsh marine environments.

Today, antique ship’s clocks are valued both for their maritime history and for their craftsmanship, often carrying the marks of renowned makers and the patina of decades at sea.
