Welcome to Mike's Clocks, a site for amateur Clock Repairing and collecting.

I am not a professional Horologist, and everything I've learned about clock repair has come from reading books and actual hands on work. When I first started, I knew less than nothing about clocks and their workings, and I didn't know of the vast array of clocks out there.

I am fortunate to have a large number of clocks I can work on. These clocks were all in rough condition and requiring a lot of work to get back into running condition. Therefore I will use my own clocks to illustrate what works, as well as what doesn't work.

This site serves two purposes, as I want to show what an untrained hobbyist, with the bare minimum of tools can accomplish in clock repair, from cleaning the movement to case repair.
The other reason for this site is that I simply like to show off.

So come in, click around and maybe learn something about clocks, how they work and watch me make lots of mistakes in clock repair!
