Antique Clocks are Good Investments

Antique clocks are not just a piece of furniture or a clock; they are a sound investment, a piece of history, a work of art, and a 200 year old antique.

Antique clocks use a simple and robust movement hand-built by master clock-smiths. This results in a reliable clock movement that's been running for hundreds of years. With the appropriate maintenance it will run for the next hundred years.

On the other hand, If you purchase a modern clock, you will be throwing away the movement in about thirty years. Modern movements just don't last as long as an antique movement.

If you purchased an antique clock five years ago, today it would be worth more than what you paid for it. Whereas, a modern clock would only be worth a fraction of its original price. With our volatile economy antique clocks are a better investment than your 401k.

Tips For Purchasing Antique Clocks

Only buy clocks that have been overhauled and come with a warrantee. An antique clock that seems like a bargain will no longer be a bargain after spending money on a clock repair.

Make sure it is in full working order, chimes correctly, and indicates the correct date/moon phase. Only purchase from a dealer that is knowledgeable about clocks.

Inquire about documentation that support the sellers claims. Sometimes, unscrupulous sellers take a movement from one clock and put it in a different clocks case. This is comparable to buying a fake painting and makes the clock virtually worthless. An expert seller will be able to research the clock and possibly provide documentation showing the clocks lineage.

Overhaul vs Clock Repair

Clock movement overhauls focus on the entire movement, whereas a clock repair focuses on a particular problem. When we perform our 11-step overhaul, we completely disassemble the movement and perform a rigorous inspection.

We recommend a clock oiling be performed every two years. Having your antique clocks oiled regularly helps make certain it will last for the generations to come.

A strong indicator that a movement needs an overhaul, instead of a minor clock repair, is when the oil sinks contain a black or green residue. The residue is a mixture of brass powder and old oil. When the residue is visible it is a sure sign your clock needs a rebushing.
