What is the Difference Between a Clock Overhaul and a Clock Repair?

Basically, an overhaul focuses on the entire clock movement, whereas a clock repair focuses on a particular issue. Not all clocks are in need of an overhaul. In fact, most clocks require only a minor repair. After inspecting your clocks movement, we will recommend the repairs needed and if the movement will benefit from an overhaul.

Clock Overhauls are Guaranteed for One Year.

Not all clocks require an expert clock repairer to fix them. Many clock repair problems can easily be repaired by the owner. We have complied a list detailing some of the more common problems. Check-out the list of clock repair tips and if you cannot repair the clock yourself we will be happy to assist you.

Our 11-Step Clock Repair Overhaul Process

A leading indicator that your clock is in need of an overhaul, and not just a minor clock repair, is when the oil point contains black or green residue. This residue is a mixture of old oil and brass powder, which is a sure sign your clock needs re bushing. All clock movements we overhaul go through an 11-Step process to ensure all problems get addressed. After an overhaul, your clock will keep more accurate time, ensuring you only have to make minor time adjustments every wind cycle.

Movements overhauled by TickTockTony are subjected to the following 11-Step process:

1. Remove your clocks movement from the case.
2. Inspect the movement for signs of ware.
3. Document all problems and the condition of your clock.
4. Fully disassemble the movement.
5. Clean individual movement parts in an Ultrasonic cleaner using a specialized clock repair cleaning solution.
6. Dress and diamond polish all pivots.
7. Perform all clock repairs and re bushings.
8. Individually test the gear trains.
9. Assemble the movement, perform an oiling, and make all necessary adjustments.
10. Run the movement for 48 hours, in a testing stand while being monitored by a computerized timing device, making the necessary timing adjustments.
11. Mount the movement back in the case and run your clock for one week fully assembled.
