Please contact us if you wish to order a Model 1900-BL as an aesthetic companion to your Model 1900G or Model 1900R3. Due to logistics issues, they are no longer offered as a stand-alone product.

On May 6, 2006, we shipped our first No. 6 battery kit–the Model 1900–for self winding clocks. That was 17 years ago! Since then, our product line has expanded to include a remarkably unique No. 6 rechargeable Model 1900R series (and we are on our 3rd generation now), ultra capacitor-electronically regulated units (the Model 1900G […]

We are no longer providing our MS-1 on the e-commerce site. There were multiple strengths used in the original manufacture of SWCC movements, and multiple movement styles. Given the rarity of need to replace these springs, it doesn’t make sense to offer multiple versions on the e-commerce site. However, if you think you need a […]

We have made a decision to no longer carry cloth covered wire. There are several reasons for this. First, the wire is getting more challenging to obtain. Most of our historic suppliers have stopped carrying the size we use to build self winding clock pigtails. While other sizes are available, they don’t work with things […]

Urgos movements are often found in older, high-quality grandfather clocks such as Howard Miller, Ridgeway, and others. Although Urgos production stopped in the late 1990’s, many are still found in clocks manufactured before 2000, and are commonly found in clocks manufactured from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. Suppliers of similar movements claim that the movements […]

Well, no machine will run indefinitely without maintenance.  We generally ask customers to send their clocks this way every 3-4 years (after a full restoration) for maintenance oiling and inspection. Surprisingly few actually do. Folks seem surprised when the clock stops working after 10 years of neglect.   Recently we had a customer send an […]

As of February 15, 2022, we will be implementing a price increase on many products such as batteries, synchronizers, winders, dials and parts. We have not adjusted pricing on these products in 10 years. Due to supplier increases resulting from well-known supply chain issues, this is unavoidable.

As you probably know, many clocks have beautiful glass meant to protect the dial, keep dust out of the movement, and keep curious fingers away from pendulums. If your glass should be broken, it creates a great hazard to anyone that may come in contact with it; so please, safety first! Once you have meticulously […]

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: As of January 2021, we are no longer accepting rush projects. As of January 2022, as a result of the Marshall Fire experience, we are now using a wait list to hold your lead time. Please contact us for more information. If you are a warranty customer, then we will of course honor any […]

We need to announce a price increase on some of our SWCC replacement parts. We have been hit with a huge increase by our suppliers. We are trying to spread this as best possible, but unfortunately some component prices will see an increase. Examples are the SWCC lugs, SWCC spring contacts, and nickel silver brush […]
