TickTockTony Is A Family Run Business

We are clock experts. We spend approximately forty hours restoring each clock, using only traditional materials and processes, prior to it being sold. This means your clock will be in tip-top condition and last for the generations to come. We know clocks; our extensive knowledge in British, French and German clocks allows us to offer only the very best antiques. This both protects your investment and allows you to buy with confidence.
Linda and Tony moved to Southern California, from Scotland, in1986. Tony first started repairing antique clocks in 1999 and in 2004 decided to expand into antique clock sales. 2010 was the turning point in our lives when we decided to grow the business and start full time. It has become a family business, with knowledge and expertise of web design, our eldest son designed and maintains our website while Linda and Tony handle the day to day operations.
We take our own photographs so we can provide our customers with a true representation of our clocks. Using our extensive library of reference books, we research the providence of all clocks to ensure all the information on our website is accurate.
Clocks have always fascinated Tony. As a young boy he would take old watches and clocks apart, just to see if he could put them back together again. Of course, back then, he took apart more than he put back together. When visiting his parent’s friends, they would have to hide all the clocks to ensure he did not start dismantling them. Over the years, his skills and knowledge have developed. He now brings you over thirty years experience working with antique clocks.
The name TickTockTony came about, as a joke, by their youngest son. He was always joking about Tony's interest in clocks. The name TickTockTony quickly began to attract attention, among friends and family, and so the business was formally named.
Tony and Linda are originally from Halifax, a small town in Yorkshire, England. In 1975 they were married and now have two adult sons. In 1974 Tony graduated Kitson College Leeds. The most unique clock Tony has worked on is an 11 Ft tall, 9 tube, musical clock by the famous clockmaker "Tobey". This clock stands in the hall of a prestigious Orange County Private School. The clock is featured in the reference book "Longcase Clocks and Standing Regulators" by Tran Duy Ly on page 420 plate 974.
