Seth Thomas 1850's

Thank you Vlad! Back in late February, I'd decided it was time to get my Junghan's 1940 bim-bam serviced, but the store I'd bought it in PG was long gone. Luckily, I found Vlad and About Time. This man is a true craftsman in a trade that's nearly forgotten: People don't realize how lucky they are when they find somebody of his ability and expertise! I ended up buying a magical antique mantle clock with a Sonoran chime I'd always wanted. Vlad worked with me until I was completely satisfied. Now, after a couple of visits and a little time getting to know him a bit, I've come to find him one of the most interesting people I've met in a good while. And his faithful companion, Rusty, one of the most friendly and gentle dogs--is obviously a reflection of his owner. (Note: I'd thought Vlad kept my old clock key by mistake--but found it weeks later after it fell out of a shirt pocket. I wasn't surprised. When he replied, "I always make sure to return them," after I asked him if he might still have it, I believed him. That's because one should be able to tell he knows what he's talking about and is a man of his word.) Barry C

This is a wonderful, old-world shop. My little German-made cuckoo had never been serviced and Vlad is going to make it like new. I was greeted by his faithful dog Rusty. This is the third antique clock he has worked on for me. One was my Bakelite English mantle clock which is home, happily purring and chiming. Thanks Vlad, for taking such good care of our clocks.

The 1906 Ansonia mantel clock
Joe D.

I find it hard to believe this place exists. How many places fix anything anymore? Let alone do it with competence and to perfection. I brought 2 clocks: a 1906 Ansonia mantel clock I bought in a train station in London in 1969, and a banged up wall clock that had been rotting away in the garage. The Ansonia is like new now, keeping time, chiming away, and sits on the mantel of our guest house, built in 1903. The wall clock, per Vlad, is a German piece made around 1880. He restored the case, the works, the pendulum, and even dug up a top trim piece that was missing. It's simply magnificent. Trust me, this shop is the real deal. We are so glad we found them!

Back in service after all these years!

I have a beautiful vintage clock in copper by Georg Jensen which was in a sorry state. The clock movement no longer worked, the housing was missing pieces necessary to keeping the clock together, and the glass face was chipped in several places from a previous owner's attempts at repair. About Time Clock Shop was able to restore it to full functionality while retaining the original movement, something that was important for me for a collectible item such as this. They also fabricated new copper clips to replace the missing ones and cut a new piece of glass for the face. The clock now hangs over my desk and has kept accurate time since I got it back from the shop almost a month ago. I was also surprised by how little I had to pay for all this work, truly a great value for skilled, custom craftsmanship. I don't often have need for clock repair service but I would go out of my way to visit this shop again if I do. Highly recommended.

My antique click after completion.

See all

Fred is amazing and is the definition of a consummate professional. I came in to have my watch…read morebattery replaced after 10 years of it sitting in a drawer. Other watch places quoted me $35-$48 bucks to change the battery, so I was shocked when Fred gave me a quote on Yelp for $12 bucks! I went to the store without an appointment, Fred welcomed me warmly, and even though 2 other customers came in, I was in and out of there in under 8 minutes! (He was able to help them too.) Aside from the great price and friendly attitude, Fred also noticed that there was some rust in the mechanism restricting the movement and he cleaned it out and added lubricant without even charging me. Really glad my old watch is working good as new again and am thankful Fred made my experience as smooth as possible. Thank you, Fred!!

Came here from the glowing reviews. I had a watch i wanted Fred to adjust. At first blush, honest…read more Told me i didnt need to do anything most watches run slow. But i insisted. I came back an hour later to pick up my watch and voila the watch was adjusted to be more accurate. Great! However, it was clear that in opening the case back, his tool slipped and caused deep scratching in the case back. When it was brought back to him, fred says when a case back is opened, some damage should be expected! I certainly did not expect damage. After insisting, he polished off the back but the scratches were too deep. Fred then says the deeper scratches weren't caused by him. Now you can trust me or not that fred caused the damage. But Id heavily suggest taking a picture of your stuff prior to work. Because if something happens, he certainly wont do anything about it. And I no longer think he's honest. He should remember his tool slipping and been upfront. Also they have case back opening tools that don't damage the watch. Id suggest fred look into buying that
