These changes go into effect 5/15/25. They are not a result of illness or any other factor of that nature. They are strictly due to backlog and rising costs (inflation + tariffs). And, this may be revised once this tariff merry-go-round settles out. Yes it’s us (all US customers) paying tariffs, NOT some foreign entity.
As a guideline, full restoration fees will typically follow this schedule. Simple maintenance repairs (out of warranty after OUR full restoration) will be quoted, but are always much less:
Simple single train electrics: $280-390
SWCC Style F Movement and case: $950 and up
SWCC Style F Movement only: $550-650 (generally)
SWCC Style A/B/C: Add $200 to Style F above
3-Train Chime Movement (mechanical and electric) only: $500-750
Vintage 3-Train Movement and case: $1200
Antique (200+ years old) tall case: $1500-3000 (generally–can vary quite significantly)
Telechron (and similar) Movements: $300-395
Alarm clocks, movement only: $350-395
Please be aware that the above represent typical numbers. We cannot have standard costs for restorations since so much can vary. Also, it’s impossible to provide guidelines for every style and type of movement we restore, and every service we provide. Providing a more specific quote range is only possible with the movement on the bench, and numbers can go up or down from the above depending on the specific issues found.
With rising costs, inflation and tariffs under the present administration, we can only expect these numbers to evolve upwards.
As always, we will continue to honor all warranties and maintenance for previous customers in a timely fashion, as long as the work is not so extensive as to require a full restoration again. This is extremely rare.
We look forward to serving you!
