A lot of antique clock names have been out of production, it would be best to at least make sure that the parts would be coming from the same country. It would not hurt either to visit an antique shop first and ask where they think it would be best. True, watch repair shops sometimes offer their services for antique timepieces, but an antique shop would most certainly point one in the direction of specialists. After all, the makes of timekeeping devices have changed significantly because of several technological advancements.

Lastly, do not hesitate to take the original parts. These are still technically antiques, and a lot of past horologists used precious metals. Even if the parts are not made of gold, it would still be wise to keep them, at least for sentimental reasons.

Antique clock repair shops may be scarce, but with a little research, even the unknowing antique clock owner can be sure to find reliable and trustworthy horologists.
