Our Mission
Our mission is to carry on the tradition of fine watchmaking. We appreciate the form and function of high quality timepieces, especially vintage watches, and we constantly seek new knowledge in the field of horology. We sell, maintain, repair and restore clocks, watches and fine jewelry. At our small, unique shop in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House neighborhood, we strive to provide our clients from the local community and beyond with expert service and honest prices.

What We Do
Watch Repair
Sometimes it is a simple battery replacement and sometimes a fine timepiece needs a full overhaul to keep things moving smoothly, prevent long lasting damage, and ensure years of reliable time.
Clocks
From wall, floor, mantle, cuckoo, 400 day, bracket, and atmos, we repair most models of clocks both new and antique. Similar to a wristwatch, general maintenance, cleaning, and care go a long way to preserving your traditional clock.
Vintage Watch Restoration
A watch is more than just the mechanical pieces, it represents memories, heritage, and history. We specialize in restoring modern and vintage wrist and pocket watches to keep time moving forward.
Jewelry
We offer a selection of unique local jewelry artisans. Additionally, over the course of a piece of jewelry’s life it is important to take the steps to maintain, polish, size, tighten things to ensure safety and security of your investment.
