Classic Clocks

Boy, was I sad and filled with regret when I neglected a couple of years ago to remove a family wristwatch from my arm before handling water. 2 jewelers couldn’t bring it back to life. Luckily, the second jeweler told me «You want Jeff Salmon!» and generously gave me the phone number of his business, Classic Clocks. Jeff Salmon is the real deal — a watchmaker who knows his craft. He’s a font of information. He told me about the history of my 50+ year old watch type, identified what parts he would need and informed me it might take awhile to source the mechanical parts to replace the water logged mechanism inside.
The workshop is a fascinating step back in time. It’s neat and tidy. There is a place for everything and everything is in its place. Beautiful old clocks tick away comfortingly — clocks he has brought back to life.
I fully recommend Jeff Salmon of Classic Clocks. His work is excellent and precise. I love being in the presence of conscious competence. I feel that I’ve not only met a true craftsman who loves his work and brings excellence to his craft, I’ve also discovered a highly intelligent soul who loves life, growing things and bringing new life to what otherwise would be relegated to remain a regretful loss.
Jeff is a delight to know, beautifully mannered, kind, honest, articulate, professional, friendly, warm and appropriate. He’s earned my full confidence. I feel relieved to have found him to be the caretaker of my watches. And, I now call him my friend.
For any of your watch or clock repair needs or wants, you now know who to call: Jeff Salmon of Classic Clocks.

Very friendly and knowledgeable! We went twice to get our cuckoo clock up and running again. So happy to hear it.
