Sadly, it had stopped working a number of years ago, even with several attempts to get it repaired. As our anniversary is approaching, we thought we would try again. I found the Clock Specialist via a Yelp review, and we are so glad we did. The owner, Jim, went above and beyond in his search for new works for our clock. Sadly, it was not to be, but an electric alternative was installed. It now works beautifully. Jim was also the epitome of politeness, thoroughness, professionalism. We couldn't be happier.

As a young clock collector (back in 2000), I bought a limited edition Sligh wall clock. After 23…read moreyears of running as intended, the left key wind hole had issues and the chimes stopped. I took the clock to Michael, and he suggested a $120 oil and clean, which is quite reasonable if you know the price of maintenance on clocks. He repaired and cleaned the movement, but also cleaned up the exterior. It looks new! When I went to pick up the clock, he even brought it to the car for me and provided towels to keep it from getting scratched. This is a terrific family run business, and I will be back! In addition, his shop is clean and organized with many clocks on display! Great place!

Warning: Don't take your clock to this place unless you want it broken! We took a mantel clock…read morethere because it didn't keep correct time. The owner said he didn't see anything wrong with the springs for the chime and clock. He said the chime was wound enough, but the clock was not which he thought might be why it didn't work properly. I told him MY HUSBAND TRIED TO WIND IT BUT HAD TROUBLE TURNING THE KEY! I asked if you can overwind the clock. His reply was not with the key. He proceeded to wind the chime and then the clock telling us how many turns for how many days. All of the sudden the spring for the clock broke. "Sorry". There must have been a problem with the spring and that's why my husband had trouble winding it, but clockman dismissed what I said. I asked what it would cost to repair the clock - $300! I said no way was I paying that. He said "I wish I could fix it for less." I'm thinking why not, you broke it for less! He didn't offer to give me any type of discount when he rendered the clock useless. I brought in a clock that I thought needed a minor repair and ended up leaving with a broken piece of junk. I left in tears because this clock was my inheritance from my grandmother and figured it was perhaps 100 years old. Some people might say it was the age that caused the spring to break, but I believe it was his know-it-all attitude that did. He should change his business name to "Broken in Time"!

I needed clock repair and set up for my grandfather clock (circa 1710) shortly after moving to…read moreChicago. The clock was in storage and had not been running for 5 years prior to my move. Cesar arrived precisely on time, did an expert job in repairing the antique case which was damaged during the move, and set up the clock. After it's set up, the clock movement was found to be in need of repair since the clock would stop after a few hours of being started and was not keeping good time. Cesar promptly took the movement into his shop where he carefully took it apart, made repairs and replacement of some of its components, such as the suspension, and patiently and meticulously adjusted the movement so that it now keeps absolutely PERFECT time! I am thrilled that this beautiful, mechanical antique is running as flawlessly as an electric clock for the first time in the 17+ years I've had it in my possession. Cesar's also made sure the clock's movements for the day of the month and phase of the moon were working as well, which only adds to my wonder and enjoyment of this incredible timepiece. I give Cesar my highest recommendation!! I feel extremely lucky that Cesar was the expert who brought my precious clock back to life where it is prominently placed with pride in my new home!

When we first started talking and attempt to set up an appointment for a time. I was told any time after 11am. So I showed up around 230ish and no one was home. So he tells me he on a service call and his wife will be back in 20 min. Or so. So after coming back I met his wife to do a drop off. She told me that her husband will contact me with in a week or maybe less. Well a week went by and no answer. So I called the guy wanting to see where he was at with the clock. He tells me he on a service call and he'll call me back in 2 hours. Two hours went by and no call back so I waited. Another week goes by without a peep from him (now 2 weeks in) so I call again to see were he at with the clock if he even look at it yet. he tells me that he busy on another service call and he'll have the estimate the next day around 6-7 pm I said okay and waited. And of course the next day came and no respond. Yet again another week goes by without a peep from him. So three week has gone by and I had gotten no answer from him if looked at the clock, on what's wrong with the clock, what it will take to fix the clock, how much it would cost, and how long it will take. Nothing at this point, I still haven't even met this guy yet either. I get it if he's busy but communicate that with the person. Maybe actually be there to meet the person at the beginning And don't tell people you're going to do something and not communicate. You made me feel like I just gave a con man my property. The only good thing was I was able to get my clock back without a problem.
