August 31, 2023 by Ken Reindel

Seventeen Years of No. 6 Batteries!

April 15, 2023 by Ken Reindel

On May 6, 2006, we shipped our first No. 6 battery kit–the Model 1900–for self winding clocks. That was 17 years ago! Since then, our product line has expanded to include a remarkably unique No. 6 rechargeable Model 1900R series (and we are on our 3rd generation now), ultra capacitor-electronically regulated units (the Model 1900G […]

SWCC Mainsprings No Longer Available

February 22, 2023 by Ken Reindel

We are no longer providing our MS-1 on the e-commerce site. There were multiple strengths used in the original manufacture of SWCC movements, and multiple movement styles. Given the rarity of need to replace these springs, it doesn’t make sense to offer multiple versions on the e-commerce site. However, if you think you need a […]

Cloth Covered Wire No Longer Available

February 22, 2023 by Ken Reindel

We have made a decision to no longer carry cloth covered wire. There are several reasons for this. First, the wire is getting more challenging to obtain. Most of our historic suppliers have stopped carrying the size we use to build self winding clock pigtails. While other sizes are available, they don’t work with things […]

Urgos Auto Beat Escapement Challenges

February 3, 2023 by Ken Reindel

Urgos movements are often found in older, high-quality grandfather clocks such as Howard Miller, Ridgeway, and others. Although Urgos production stopped in the late 1990’s, many are still found in clocks manufactured before 2000, and are commonly found in clocks manufactured from the 1970’s to the 1990’s. Suppliers of similar movements claim that the movements […]

Maintaining a Vintage Mechanical Clock–wait, what?

August 25, 2022 by Ken Reindel

Well, no machine will run indefinitely without maintenance.  We generally ask customers to send their clocks this way every 3-4 years (after a full restoration) for maintenance oiling and inspection. Surprisingly few actually do. Folks seem surprised when the clock stops working after 10 years of neglect.   Recently we had a customer send an […]
