Harcourt ClockmakersClerkenwell · London

Keeping good time since 1962.

A small Clerkenwell workshop repairing and restoring mechanical clocks and watches by hand — from a carriage clock that has stopped to a longcase in need of a full overhaul.

Harcourt Clockmakers is a traditional bench workshop. We service the movement, not just the hands: cleaning, bushing worn pivots, adjusting the escapement and regulating the timekeeping so a piece runs reliably for years. We work on wall clocks, mantel and carriage clocks, longcase (grandfather) clocks and mechanical wristwatches.

Cleaning & service

Full strip-down of the movement, ultrasonic cleaning, fresh oils and regulation on the timing machine.

Repair

Broken mainsprings, worn pivots and bushings, chimes and strikes that have fallen silent.

Restoration

Sympathetic restoration of dials, hands and cases, keeping as much original material as possible.
