What our customers say
Pleased to have my Frederique Constant watch comfortably on my wrist once again - definitely won't be dropping it on a tiled floor again any time soon !! Thanks to Clock Clinic for fixing this with prompt and efficient - and friendly - service.
Highly professional and courteous service from the Clock Clinic. Serviced one Baume & Mercier watch in a timely manner, replacing a used strap with a good-looking replacement. Repaired another (when others couldn't) and got it working without any attempt to "up-sell" services. Much appreciated, I would recommend Alastair, Hilary and the team.
This is such a wonderful place with amazing people who know everything there is to know about any time piece you wish to buy, or as in my case, to be repaired. They did a fantastic job of repairing a small clock which belonged to my grandfather. I definitely recommend The Clock Clinic.
