The Clock Clinic in London
Operating for nearly half a century, The Clock Clinic is a family-run business in South West London with a fully functioning workshop and showroom. The business is owned by Alastair Chandler and Victoria Chandler, who are both Directors of the company.
At The Clock Clinic we are committed to building long-term relationships and are often a part of family traditions that cross generations. We pride ourselves on being a leader in clock repairs and restoration. We also repair watches from battery replacements to full services.
On our premises we have a showroom with a selection of fine antique clocks for sale. We display a comprehensive stock of Antique and Vintage Clocks from the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries for sale, specialising in English Longcase, Bracket Clocks, French Decorative Clocks, Carriage Clocks and Wall Clocks. In addition, we have a wide selection of Mid-Century Clocks, notably Jaeger LeCoultre clocks. We also have a small selection of Antique Pocket Watches as well as pre-owned luxury wristwatches.
Our services range from full repair and restoration of clocks (both the mechanism and case) to full services of branded wristwatches. All clocks and watches are repaired and restored by our own craftsmen and come with a full one-year guarantee. In many circumstances, clocks can be delivered to and set up in the new owner’s home, and we can arrange shipping worldwide. Additional services are dial restoration, cabinetwork, and preparing valuations for insurance.

Clock Repairs & Restoration in London
At The Clock Clinic, we understand how valuable your clock is. Not just financially but also emotionally, especially if your clock has been passed down the generations. Whatever the type of repair, you can rest assured that we take extreme care and attention during the restoration process.
We specialise in restoring and repairing all types of antique clocks ranging from longcase/grandfather clocks to English bracket and skeleton clocks to fine French mantel and carriage clocks.
Repairs to modern and mid-20th century clocks can also be undertaken and if you have a vintage electric clock just sitting there not in use, we can convert it to a quartz movement.
We undertake complete overhauls, repairs or minor adjustments and offer routine maintenance on all types of antique and domestic clocks and watches. Dials and casework can be restored, new wheels can be cut and fitted and any necessary replacement parts can be made to its original pattern and specification.
At The Clock Clinic we ensure our specialists are fully qualified, highly skilled and receive ongoing on-the-job training. We invest in developing talent and encouraging young people to go into the trade through our Apprentice Scheme, launched in May 2018 and by mentoring Horology undergraduates.
“When an antique clock breaks, a clock that has been telling the time for two hundred or three hundred years, fixing it can be a real puzzle …. a clock like that doesn’t come with a manual.”
