Thirty years at the same bench
Peter opened this shop over 30 years ago and has been serving the Sacramento community ever since, with the same standards he started with. That reputation was built one honest repair at a time, and it is why people keep coming back.
Ask what he likes working on and the answer is anything with a movement — a grandfather clock's weight-driven mechanism, a wristwatch's gear train, it makes no difference. That is part of why he is trusted with pieces other shops turn away.
Many of his customers have been coming for decades and will not take their watches and clocks anywhere else.

Before you come
Common questions
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in any weekday during opening hours. Calling first is worth it if the piece is large or unusual, so you know it can be looked at the same day.
What does an estimate cost?
Nothing. The piece is examined and you are told what it needs and what it will cost before any work begins.
How long will a repair take?
It depends on the movement and on parts. Simple work such as a battery or a band is often done while you wait; a full overhaul takes longer and you will be given a timeframe with the estimate.
Can you come to the house for a grandfather clock?
Yes. Tall case clocks are usually serviced in the home rather than moved. Call to arrange a visit.
