    Jefferson Golden Hour Mystery clock. 24k gold plated from 1953 made in Bellwood IL.
    Robert B.

    I brought in a Jefferson Golden Hour clock for an estimate. I knew what the issue was. The glass needed to be glued to the gear ring. When its not attached the clock will run fast. They told me that it was a $325 job and I would need a new motor since its running fast, tension springs and friction pads and it would take 3 weeks to repair. You can purchase a reconditioned one for less that $200. I paid $75 for this one. Thankfully I educated myself on the 1953 clock before I went in and decided to try and do the job myself. I spent $30 on the glue. (Special 3M 847 adhesive.) Since I was going to try the repair myself I ordered new parts that go in the chapter ring. The tension springs $3.50 friction pads $1. There was nothing wrong with the motor it was noted in the base that it was replaced in 1979. The clock ran fine only after about 24 hours it would be about 10 minutes fast because the glass was just flopping around in the frame. If I needed a new motor its a $53 part. Thanks to YouTube I opened it up and did the repairs myself in about an hour and a half. Did some minor cleaning on the chapter ring because the previous owner lubricated it. YOU NEVER LUBRICATE A JEFFERSON CLOCK.. Its keeping perfect time now. Take the time and educate yourself before you look into repairs. Chicago Clock has some beautiful clocks in their showroom. The young lady at the counter was nice.

    Update to my previous review. Jason and I made contact and he apologized for the interactions I had and provided a detailed explanation why I was told the pendulum repair was more complicated than my original quote. Jason was incredibly helpful, had us drop off the pendulum when he would be at their Claredon Hills location so he could personally assist. They repaired the pendulum the same day and now our Mora clock is ticking and tocking like it did in the 1870s. Thanks for your professionalism and understanding Jason!

    This is the best clock and watch repair business I have found. Other so-called 5-star services…read moredon't return calls like Chicago Clock does. I smile when I read "unfriendly" in a review of CCC. They may not have the smiling style of the other places, they just have pure competent substance. They also may not be the "low price leader" in quoting a repair. But they guarantee any repair. I just brought in to them a 6 month old watch that had a hard-to-turn crown. I had taken it first to another place that told me they fixed it but that it was corroded and needed some winding to loosen it up. I discovered it was a quartz watch that needed no winding. The place unscrupulously had charged me $68 for the so-called repair. Chicago opened it up for me while I was there and found a gnarly rubber gasket that I had probably messed up myself trying to wind a battery powered watch. The technician should rightly have called me an idiot but instead just fixed it in 2 minutes, He did not want to charge me anything. I insisted on giving him at least a $20 tip which he reluctantly but appreciatively accepted. This is the kind of business I respect and will patronize again and again going forward.

    I stopped here to get a watch battery replaced. I'd never been to this store before and have always…read morewanted to stop by - this was my chance. There was someone there already getting a watch battery replaced. So, while waiting, I walked around admiring their clocks and watches. They have quite a selection - great if you need a nice clock for yourself or as a gift. I took some pictures and a short video and posted them for you to see. When it was my turn, he took the watch and went in the back. It didn't take much more than five minutes for him to return with the watch working again! And the price was very reasonable, under $20. Fun store with good service.

He called a worker up front from the back and asked him to hammer it back into shape. The man from the back asked me if I want to see how he does it so I said sure. I followed him way into the back room he put it around a spindle and fixed it. As he handed it back to me his hand came out and cupped my breast before I was able to knock it away. "Nice" he said... Un freaking believable. I walked straight up to the front and told the man what happened and he apologized and I said you better talk to that ass because this is not acceptable In any sense of the word. As I walked out the nice man said come back soon and don't be such a stranger. Un freaking believable.

My husband has sasage fingers, they resized my husband ring to a size 17 yes thats right size 17. The made it look like it wasn't even touched. I had my grandpa's ring that was from the 1940s or so. My Grandma gave it to him. The ring was gorgeous, 18 karat gold and it had three real rubies, but one Ruby was missing. The rubies were old and a different shade of ruby from now a day's. They weren't sure if they could find a ruby, but they did and it was beautiful! I gave the ring to my cousin because whatever she was to be given was stolen by a family member. When I gave it to her she thought I was kidding but I wasn't and she just about passed out. Now my Son wants to ask his gril to get married. He asked me for a jeweler and told him to go see you.
