Who is a Horologist?
Our clockmaker isn’t just a technician; he is an artist, mathematician, and visionary based in McLean, VA. His precise skills rival those of a surgeon, as he delicately repairs components of rare antique clocks and fine watches. He exemplifies the patience of an experienced educator, striving for perfection in every mechanism he restores. He approaches each project with the care of a veterinarian, fully aware of the sentimental value these timepieces hold for their owners.
What Can Our Clockmaker Do?
At DMV Clock Repair, our master clockmaker brings a wealth of experience with over three decades in the field, offering a wide range of services tailored to maintain and restore your cherished timepieces in McLean. Specializing in clocks, he adeptly manages everything from routine maintenance to comprehensive overhauls, ensuring both mechanical and aesthetic aspects are meticulously restored.
His expertise includes fine-tuning chime rods to perfect their sound, restoring wooden casework to its original splendor, re-silvering aged dials to bring back their clarity and luster, and handcrafting bespoke components like gears or jewels essential for precise clock functioning. His care extends to the delicate repair of porcelain features and the restoration of intricately painted glass, preserving the artistic and historical integrity of each clock.
For watch repairs, we partner with WearingTime.com, specialists in watch servicing. While our clockmaker focuses on clocks, WearingTime.com provides expert care for all types of watches, ensuring that both clocks and watches receive specialized attention tailored to their unique needs. Together, we ensure that no matter the timepiece, it receives the care and expertise necessary to function beautifully and accurately.
