Grandfather Clock Repair
Pendulum will not swing
There are many times a grandfather’s clock pendulum will look like it is swinging just fine; however, if the grandfather clock is not running properly the pendulum will eventually stop, usually in 10 to 20 minutes. Here are a few things you might want to try yourself prior to calling a clock repairman.
1. First, make sure your grandfather clock weights have been pulled up. This may sound silly; however, I always ask this question and several times the customer was not aware of this, nor did they know how to do it. It might sound silly to some folks, but if you are not told how, then you won’t know how. Also check to see if the weights are on correctly. Most clocks (not all but most) weights are different in weight. typically on a modern day grandfather clock the heavier weight goes on the right side as you are facing the clock.
2. Are the grandfather clock hands touching each other? Touching hands are guaranteed to stop your grandfather clock! Look at the hour and minute hands closely to see if they are touching.
To repair them, push the hour hand slightly towards the dial in order to clear the minute hand (but make sure it doesn't touch the dial)! If they still touch, you can bend back the minute hand slightly towards you, allowing clearance. If you have a second hand, make sure that it is not pushed in too close and touching the dial. The second hand is very sensitive and the slightest resistance will stop the clock. If this is the case, slightly pull the second hand out just a pinch to allow it to turn freely
3. Make sure the grandfather clock is level. Some older grandfather clocks will run just fine slightly out of level once the movement has been adjusted. This is not true for the newer grandfather clocks. The newer grandfather clocks need to be level for both front to back and side to side.
4. Are the grandfather clock hands touching the dial glass? If the minute hand on the grandfather clock is touching the front glass, this will stop the clock from working. To repair this problem, slightly bend the hand away from the glass, but be careful not to bend it too much and allow it to touch the hour hand.
There is a very fragile part in a grandfather clock that the pendulum hangs on. This part is called a “suspension spring”. I have included a typical picture of one (some grandfather clock suspension springs may vary in size and shape). If this suspension spring gets bent too much or if it breaks, the pendulum will not continue to swing. You may notice when the pendulum swings, it will make a circle or a figure 8 pattern. This is an indication that the suspension needs replacing. Sometimes you may find a part of this suspension spring in the bottom of the grandfather clock’s case. If this is the case, then the suspension spring will need to be replaced and it is recommended that a qualified clock technician performs this job.

Adjusting The Speed Of Your Clock
The video to your right will explain how to adjust the speed of your grandfather clock. It is the same for all pendulum driven clocks.
Just remember to adjust the nut in small increments. A quarter of a turn at a time will be plenty. You will eventually be able to get the clock to keep very good time.
As always if you continue to have problems you are welcome to contact us for additional information.

I've not purchased a watch here but have had them service watches I own. Went in yesterday for a battery replacement and Raymond did a great job getting me back on time! Thanks Raymond! Great service at a reasonable price..can't beat it!
Byrdman22924512Ray and Andreas were very knowledgeable and efficient when they took on the challenge of repairing my watch. They told me things about my watch that I didn't know about and also told me about their policies that benefited my and not their company. If you have any watch work that you need conducted...I'd definitely go to Times Ticking!!

Simon !Was Very knowledgeable.Took his time. Too show me all theWatches. without being pushy.Very Good experience.And your store has a wonderful Variety and Quality watches.. I Love the Ones made in UtahðŸ‘x8D👌🤓
James ShawI went in to learn about a vintage pocket watch. Raymond was very helpful, courteous and friendly. He checked the watch with care and then looked it up on a database and let me copy the information. Fantastic service. I would definitely go there again and would highly recommend it to anyone!
Cheri KollerEvery time I need something having to do with our watches I always wait until I'm up here from Utah County to come to Times Ticking in the mall. Went in again yesterday with 2 watches needing some minor repair and Simon was super helpful and had the watches fixed so quickly. The courtesy and quickness is super helpful and much appreciated.
Doug HammerI had several issues with my Bulova mechanical watch, including running too fast. They not only fixed it, but it is better than when I bought it new. Amazing! And the only place I recommend for service.
Ellen SmithTrying to find a watch maker to replace a Swiss Army Watch battery is easy but one who repairs a Swiss Army 'Officer's 1894 square faced' watch was next to impossible in the SF Bay Area. Further Google research connected me to 'Ticking Times' in Utah and great success! I sent my watch, received a prompt arrival confirmation and subsequent estimate of repairs & offer of cleaning & polishing. The entire process was skillfully completed with beautiful results in approx. 2-3 weeks. Thank you Ticking Times, so glad to know where to find you!
Roger SibleyRecently my Father-in-law passed away and my Mother-in-law gave me two of his watches. One was a Rolex and the;other a Movado. My Father-in-law enjoyed these watches and so it was an honor to get both of these to remember him by. Only problem is my wrists are skinnier than his and needed some links taken out of the bands. Having gone to Times Ticking in Layton Hills Mall in the past for other watches needing links removed or batteries, and always pleased with the great service, we knew where we needed to go to have the links removed in these two newly acquired watches. Caleb was the one who helped us today and he was very pleasant and personable to us. I was expecting several days before they would be ready for pickup, but Caleb said to come back in 15 to 20 minutes and they would be ready. We took a little longer walking through the mall, but upon our return to Times Ticking, Caleb had one of them ready. He apologized and explained that the other watch needed to go to their repair shop due to the special links on it and it would be a few days before being ready. Even though both watches weren't finished at the same time, Caleb's friendly interaction with an honest explanation in having to wait for the other watch to be ready wasn't even an issue and we were very pleased with his level of service. Once again our expectations with Times Ticking were exceeded and we will definitely be back. I would recommend Times Ticking as the place to go for all your time keeping repairs, sales and service.
L. EvansVery good service. They repaired my old Baby G and cleaned it up. It now looks better than it has in probably 10 years. The keeper for the watch band broke years ago and I made one from a small zip tie. Times Ticking replaced it without me asking and at no charge. That was a pleasant surprise. Many times small gestures and great customer service say a lot about a company and people. You have earned a new return customer.

This is my second time to deal with Times Ticking. Again, they have performed the services in excellent manner. When my watch was returned to me, it looked better than when I sent it to them. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They called to authorize the needed work, but failed to call me to tell me that my watch was in the return mail. That was unusual as they called me the first time I worked with them. I have another watch passed down from my father that I will be sending next time. Thanks for a great job and as usual I will return.
