Specialists in the Sale & Restoration of Fine Antique Clocks

Buying grandfather clocks is like walking in a minefield, quoting from Memoirs of a Diplomat (1895) Gladstone, '...but Sir Thomas, antiques don't lie - only sellers do, either deliberately for profit or through ignorance...'

To buy antique clocks of any sort you have two problems.

1. You need to visit someone who understands the subject matter, the greater knowledge the better.

2. You then have to trust the person who you are buying from.

The Managing Director, Mr. Roy Clements interest started from the early age of 13 (1953) when he helped his father restore antique grandfather clock and bracket clock movements in his spare time. He is still going strong apart from an occasional game of golf. Roy Clements wife of 50 years this summer, Valerie Clements is also an important cog in the antique clocks business. In the early years Roy would look after buying and Val the sales side of the business.

Since then they have built up their own very fine collection.  We are called upon to vet for authenticity antique clocks at antique fairs in the U.K., U.S. and Germany and Mr Roy Clements was the clocks editor of the worldwide respected Millers Antiques Price Guide to 1984.  Dr Specht is the senior member of BDKA (the antique dealers association for Northern Germany) 

All over the world we have many very happy customers. For the last 40 years as well as the joy they have brought to their owners, they have been appreciating in value at a steady rate. All our antique clocks are sold with a money back guarantee that they are genuine and fully restored.
