Mr. Tran (owner) has been to our house twice to oil our grandfather clock. He has always done good work. I would also point out that the one star reviews listed are from the San Francisco area - Fon's Clockworks has been open in Arlington for almost 20 years. I think these reviews are for another establishment (in California). read more

Fon's Clockworks - Front of the building - Watch Repair Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I went to Fon's Clock shop based on reviews I read here on Yelp! They did not disappoint. I went there to see if he could help me either fix these clocks we found at resale shops or garage sales or help me find replacement clock fitups for all three clocks. I spent the night before trying to measure and look online to see if I could find anything close. He had them in stock and understood having to measure everything perfectly. I was extremely pleased that he had them in stock and readily able to be replaced. Loved that this was all completed with one day service! I will definitely go back for all my other clock needs! Thank you Mr. Fon! read more

See all

He refurbished an old wall clock I have. Did an excellent job works well once again. He wasn't able to replace some old glass but it's an old clock and wasn't expecting him to refurbish everything. He tried very hard. He gave it the old college try!! I would use him again. Very friendly service. read more

Super great owner. Did a consultation with him and he told me everything I could know about the rolex I had brought and and was up front about all repairs and told me that I was better off going to someone that was certified to retain its value even though he could fix it read more

Took a watch in for some minor repairs. Was extremely pleased not only with the service but also the price. The gentleman that owns this has been in business for 30 years and I can see why. Really an interesting store with tons of clocks and watches to check out while you're waiting. Highly recommend! read more

Mr Fon was really knowledgeable about clocks & very personable & friendly. Fixed 2 of my Mothers clocks even quicker than we were told at a reasonable price. read more

Great service by a true professional. Reasonable prices for his services. Have used this business for years. From wall clock repair to watch repair to having my gold chain repaired. I retired 5 years ago and moved to Florida and save any and all repair needs till I come back to visit Mansfield relatives. Simply the best! read more

I went to this place to fix 2 watches that had stopped. The owner said it was not the batteries and they both needed to be repaired. I took the watches to another place and it was a quick fix. 2 new batteries. Be careful of this place. read more

Fon was amazing. He came to my house all the way in Burleson to fix my Grandfather clock. He was very professional and had the part I needed and fixed it in a flash. He was also kind enough to explain how to maintain my clock and showed me how to oil it. He even left me some oil to use next year when it's time again. He definitely knows what he is doing and I will not hesitate to contact him for all my clock or watch repair needs. read more

Fon's Clockworks - Watch Repair Near Me - Arlington, Texas

The man who helped me was informative, and gave me a free estimate. I brought him three clocks to examine. The first was simply misaligned and easy to fix. He said it would need repairs and would charge $175. The second clock he said was very expensive (it is not), and would need extensive repairs $250. The last and most precious to me was a cuckoo clock. He said it was not very valuable, and that the music box had been taken out by someone. He said it would never play music again, but he could make it work again for $275. The cuckoo clock DOES have a music box in it, and it is easy to see. He is either ignorant which is disturbing for his trade, or blatantly telling a lie for some strange reason. This is NOT someone I would trust my clocks with, nor give my business to. Please do your research. You will find good people out there to help you!!! read more

Excellent, quick and reasonably priced service on my Hamilton watch. Mr. Fon is a nice guy too! Highly recommend! read more

This is an excellent place to come for watch battery replacement...service is super quick and the environment is very interesting while you wait (clocks, watches, etc). I highly recommend Fon's for your watch and clock service/repair. read more

I acquired a 1920s pocket watch and knew it would need some cleaning, adjustment and lubrication. Fortunately this shop is really close to the house! The owner has been at this location since the '80s and it is obvious that he knows what he is about. It took about a month or so which I knew was most likely necessary to get my watch in good working order. He had it cleaned and polished and working great. I just hope he has a trainee because it is getting harder to find good mechanical clock and watch repair. Great service! read more

Great Service & Reasonable Prices Fon was fast, great prices and he knows how to treat customers. I'm so happy to have found his service. He's a skilled tradesman who appreciates all customers. read more

Very interesting place. Clocks and watches everywhere and so unique. I wish I could have stayed longer to see all the merchandise. Service on my battery was good. read more

Fon's Clockworks - Im a Happy Camper!!!! Thank You Fon - Watch Repair Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Owner is really nice and friendly. He is passionate about what he does. I've gone a few time for my watches but he has a really large collection of watches, wall clocks, and grandfather clocks. He sells and also buys them. He only charges $5 to remove links from watches. read more

Fon is a very talented watchmaker/clockmaker. I own a vintage Seiko quartz diver's watch (7548-700B, circa 1979) that ran down continuously only six or seven months after a battery change. Fon immediately knew why and replaced the battery another shop had put in my watch with a proper Seizaken battery. The watch has run perfectly for three years since his repair. I now live outside Texas, but I take my watches to him to service when I travel there. Highest possible recommendation. I now collect vintage Seikos, and he will be servicing them. read more

We inherited a 100 yr old German grandfather clock that we transported in a Pod from eastern us to Burleson, Tx. It did not work before we transported and did not work after. We called Mr. Fon and he drove out to our house for an estimate to fix it. He gave us a quote how much to fix it would be and when he could get it done. We agreed. He returned the mechanism fixed and installed it into the Grandfather Westminster Chimes Clock. Works like new. Beautiful sounds through out the house. Thank you, Mr. Fon, for an excellent job. We love to hear it again. Fair price, perfect service. He did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. Jim and Annette Peoples read more

I've been going to Mr. Fon's shop for over 20 years. He is always very friendly. He does quick, high quality work at very reasonable prices. I can't help looking at his clock collection in his shop every time I'm in there. read more

I was searching for a new watchmaker and Fon's was recommended by a watch collector I know. Having experienced the good, as well as the bad while having high-end timepieces serviced, I was somewhat reluctant to take my wife's Rolex in for a major repair. However, Fon did an exceptional job, honored his estimate (which was fair) and was accurate with regard to repair time. He also didn't try to up-sell me on things the watch didn't need. Since my first experience - as described above - he has worked on two other watches and the service was the same! He's an excellent guy to deal with... I am very particular when it comes to watchmakers (if you have dealt with them before you likely know what I mean) and he is at the front of the line when it comes to customer service and honesty.

Stopped in for a watch battery replacement. Service was quick and friendly, at an honest price. Very cool place - covered with clocks of all vintages and varieties and a wide selection of pre-owned watches for sale. Support local! read more

Mr Fon took my family's ancient clock for repair. When I got it back a week later, the heavy brass springs that meant the clock ran for 7 days on one winding had been replaced by flimsy, thin black springs that would not even run for 2 days. The heavy brass gong with such a deep, melodic tone had been replaced with a thin metal piece that sounded tinny and most unpleasant. For this, he had charged us $80. He refused to talk to us when we returned. My husband was ill and died shortly thereafter so this is not a matter I care to pursue in this world. Mr Fon, the Lord God will judge between thee and me. read more

Very good service! He is efficient, friendly, and very reasonably priced! I brought him several watches. He fixed one for me right there on the spot, free. I had one that he told me would be to expensive to fix ( I really appreciate his honesty). He fixed three of them for me for less than the store at the mall charged me for one. We're obviously rough on our watch faces! Lol. I highly recommend Fon's watch repair! read more

Very professional. Was able to identify and take care of the watch problem my husband had in less than 5 minutes.

Mr. Fon was wonderful! He only charged $3 for what other jewelers wanted $20. My husband loves this store!

I waited at the counter for about 10 minutes for the gentleman to get off the phone but eventually had to give up. He actually didn't even seem to notice I was standing at the counter although I was only ten feet away. I previously had pretty good service at this place but this trip was a complete waste of time. read more

Very reasonable price. I was in and out in 5 minutes for a watch battery replacement. Thanks!

Fixed the band, replaced the glass, and cleaned it in 2 hrs. I will definitely take my watch back if it needs any future repairs. read more
