Christopher came to my home to address issues with my grandfather clock. While he was at my home he also resolved the issues with another three of my clocks. He took the mechanism of the grandfather clock to repair/clean at his shop. Yesterday, Christopher installed my grandfather clock's mechanism and pendulum. Grandfather is working like new. Christopher even adjusted the volume of the chime to accommodation our smaller space. The volume still needs attention, but I'm sure Christopher will attend to that. He is very personable and very capable.

I 'met' Chris on-line via the NAWCC several years ago. When I learned that he operated a clock repair business, I asked him if he could inspect and hopefully repair the movement of a vintage late 1920's 'spin start' electric clock that had completely petered out. Being that I live in San Francisco, I shipped the clock back East to him to do whatever was necessary. That was 4+ years ago and this wonderful clock that once belonged to my brother has been keeping time flawlessly ever since. Update to 2022... I contacted Chris again in late October with several antique 'clock movement' issues. So far, I have shipped out a Lenzkirch and Gustav Becker movements for repair. And alas, a few more clock movements will need his attention as well... I just received the Lenzkirch clock movement back on November 4 and it is up and running/chiming perfectly! Thanks Chris! I've been collecting clocks for the last 25+ years and I feel fortunate to have found a clocksmith that I can trust to do right with my clocks!

Was looking for a local clock repair and found Clocks by Christopher through Google. I brought four clocks in was told I could have the one by January but then got a call from Chris and three of the clocks we're ready. One clock was an older Dutch type clock with delft tiles and it didn't work at all. So they took it apart and cleaned it and it has been running beautifully ever since. Previously had this particular clock looked at by a dealer in Virginia where I was living taking care of my aunt. Just taking a quick look at it he wanted to replace the entire Works which were German for over $300 but I don't remember if that was also to install it. So I declined. So Chris was able to clean up the clock and get it running for less than what the other quoted and has been running since. I can't wait to get the 4th clock back. Thank you Chris and looking forward to getting the last cuckoo back.J.

I have a 100+ year old mantle clock which was my grandfather's which has not run in several yesterday. I brought it to Christopher abs and he knew right away it just needed some cleaning and TLC. He gave an estimate and a timeframe and delivered! The clock is running smoothly!

Recently purchased and received a used Ridgeway Floral Grandfather clock. Dave at the store was great to work with and answered all of our questions. The online description, pictures and video were great. We had no concerns about purchasing the clock sight unseen. The communication was great along with process, from questions to the purchase to communication regarding the delivery of the clock. The clock was shipped to a midwestern US location and CBC handled all of the arrangements and worked with a great company that protected the clock during transit and when bringing the clock into the house. The clock was packaged well and all parts of the clock were received. They also included an instruction manual for the clock that was very helpful in the setup of the clock. Overall from the initial contact to the delivery of the clock everything was great. We would highly recommend Clocks By Christopher and would not be concerned if you are located in other parts of the US as they can economically get the clock to you. We are very happy with our purchase and thank every one at CBC.

It’s too bad that Mr Swenson does not believe in freedom! He would have found an amazing store to buy wonderful clocks from and a store that goes above and beyond in repairing all kinds of clocks! And the best part is that the owners are good to work with, honest and have fair pricing. Can’t get much better than that! Your loss if you don’t give this place a try!

We stopped by with a very old clock which has been in the family for years whose pendulum had fallen off. We wondered what might be required to fix it. Christopher immediately recognized its age, offered some history, all the while finding the tiniest piece of wire to fit through a tiny hole to help reattach the pendulum. Ours was a brief, thoroughly enjoyable and successful visit. He’s friendly, helpful, interesting and interested.

After reading the positive reviews of this store, I drove over an hour with the hope of picking out an antique mantle clock. When I pulled into the parking lot, I encountered a giant political banner on the main house (the store is located in a separate building behind the house) which I thought was unprofessional for a business. As I approached the door of the store, I saw a sign on the door that read "Masks Optional." I wish I had known this before wasting my time, so I wanted to share this for those who care.

A very pleasant shopping experience even being an out of state customer David made sure all went well with the purchase and delivery of my new Howard miller grandfather clock. I highly recommend this business for your clock needs.
