Old clocks often have many decades behind them. Some have been used for generations, while others have spent years forgotten in a cupboard or attic. When a clock like this comes to us, we begin by looking for what remains of its original history.

We do not simply want to make historical clocks run again. Our aim is to preserve their mechanics while respecting the traces of age they have acquired over the years. A case is therefore allowed to show that it has lived a long life. Where appropriate and necessary, we carefully clean and restore it – without trying to turn an old clock into something it has never been.

The movement also receives the attention it needs after many years of service. Where necessary, mechanical movements are dismantled, cleaned, inspected, oiled, and then carefully adjusted and tested. With electromechanical clocks, we also attend to the contacts, pendulum, and other components of the particular system. Our work is always guided by the construction and condition of the individual clock.

Every old clock bears traces of its history. Signs of wear and changes caused by age do not therefore have to disappear completely. To us, they are part of a historical object and tell something of the life it has already lived.

Before a clock is offered in our shop, we give it time. It is adjusted, observed, and tested to ensure that it functions properly. Only when we are satisfied with the result is it ready to leave our workshop.

We are Lenka and Thomas, and we love old clocks. We are fascinated by their mechanics, but equally by the history each one carries with it. Many of these clocks have already accompanied several generations. We want to help ensure that they are not forgotten, but continue to run, continue to live, and continue to tell their stories.
