American Black Forest Clocks

WE CAN REPAIR ANY CLOCK OR TIMEPIECE.
We make house calls for grandfather clocks in the morning (8am-11am) and in the evening (6pm-8pm) during the week. We repair all sorts of clocks including wall, mantle, cuckoo clocks, novelty, etc.

We also replace watch batteries.We repair all types of watches too.

I am a 2nd generation clocksmith. I learned the trade from my father and have been doing this for 44 years. I am certified by the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute.

I am sorry but I do not return telephone calls. There is just not enough time in the day. I am a 1 person business. I can not afford to add help at this time. When I repair a clock I put it through a 2-week test to make sure everything works O.K. Sometimes it breaks down again due to something else. When a clock has been through the 2 week test and passed I call the customer and inform them that their clock is done. It does take some time to repair a clock; so if your in a rush I would not be the place to go. I do stand behind my work.

Thank you for very much for your business and patience.
