Tampa Clock Repair and Restoration:
Repairs are made to clocks that do not need rebuilding, restoration, or servicing. Repairs are usually small jobs that don't require too much time.
Restoration is performed when the customer requests that the time piece be in like-original condition.
A rebuild is necessary when a clock has run it's course, is worn out, and can no longer continue to run properly under it's own power source.
House calls may also include clocks that are difficult to move, or become a liability to transport due to their value. (French Bronze or English Bracket for example)
Antique
Pocket Watch Restoration 
- Antique Pocket Watch Restoration requires special skills and a great deal of patience. Because of the age of these watches replacement parts are not available through conventional means and often a part must be specially fabricated and fitted precisely in order to insure that the watch performs as it should. These parts require days and many man hours to design and then finally produce. Preservation of originality is an important consideration when designing and fabricating these pieces. Each restoration is a unique project in and of itself. Sometimes the expense is no object and other times practicality is in order.
- Some customers enjoy using these old watches today. While there is some risk in using an antique watch on a daily basis there is also a huge satisfaction and joy to experience a watch that still keeps time as it did hundreds of years ago. Many times this is the same watch that their father or grand father might have used every day.
Fusee
Watch Repair & Restoration 
Fusee Watch Repair involves the careful handling of very old watches. These watches were among the first types of mechanical watches with some of them well over three hundred years old. Fusee watches typically use a tiny chain wound around a tapered spool (Fusee) to transfer power to the watch evenly as the mainspring winds down. This allows for steady timekeeping.
Many times these very special watches are pronounced "beyond repair" by uninformed jewelers and watchmakers. Very seldom is a watch beyond repair. The expense of Antique Watch Repair is another matter. In many cases the cost to fabricate the broken, worn or missing pieces of the watch may exceed the value of the watch. But many times the sentimental value associated with the watch makes the restoration well worth the expense. If the watch has just been recovered from the Titanic, or subjected to the well intentioned mechanical exploits of a ten year old, it is probable that the work required would be extensive. Hopefully yours is in better condition. Only a thorough examination can reveal the extent of repairs required.
Chronoswiss
mechanism Repair 
Recent production, high performance watches require thorough cleaning and inspection about every five years in order to assure top performance. We take no shortcuts. While we are not perfect, we strive for perfection and give our customers the best possible service. We do no rush our jobs but will give you an accurate idea of what to expect. There are often hidden problems that must be found. The Chronoswiss mechanism above had a deteriorated bearing surface causing it to loose accuracy. This was due to the breakdown of lubrication. In the magnified view the stain of the broken down materials is visible. The mechanism must be completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and reassembled with appropriate lubrication. Any worn parts are replaced or repaired expertly. Several different lubricants as well as anti-spreading agents are applied exactly where they are needed. Then the watch is assembled, carefully adjusted, and thoroughly tested prior to delivery. Electronic diagnostic tools are used to determine and fine tune the performance. Water resistant watches are leak tested with special equipment. Self winding watches are paced on wrist simulators to test self winding and motion sensitivity. Please consider carefully who you will trust with your Rolex repair, Chronograph repair or Chronometer repair. Brands we service include but are not limited to Rolex, Waltham, Hamilton, Elgin, Jaeger LeCoultre, Tudor, Omega, Tiffany & CO., Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantine.
Complicated Watch Repair & Restoration 
Complicated Watch Repair and Unusual Watch Repair requires a thorough understanding of the mechanisms. The diversity of mechanisms invented by watch making geniuses over the centuries is amazing. Complicated watches may chime, play music, record elapsed time, show phases of the moon, have special calendar mechanisms, display astronomical time, have an equation of solar time feature, have moving figures and do many other things. There are other unusual watches that employ special mechanisms designed to be very accurate or unique. Sometimes they are one of a kind.
Repeater Watch Restoration is incredibly demanding. These watches strike the time only when activated. Usually they have two gongs although they may have more or none. It is necessary to completely disassemble, repair any faulty parts, reassemble and properly lubricate the many places subject to wear within the mechanism of these watches. That is the only way to reliably restore them to proper function.
