Victor has our highest recommendation as a master craftsman and we wouldn't trust our clocks to anyone else. He tells you up front about the cost of restoration or repair and explains your options in great detail so that you can make an informed decision. Victor just restored to perfection a family heirloom 1880s French bronze mantel clock. It had not run for many years and Victor brought it back to life with his exceptional expertise. He also brazed a broken piece onto the case making it complete again. This is the second restoration he has done for us. Ten years ago, he restored a 120-year-old German wall clock that had not run for decades and the clock continues to run flawlessly. In addition, he repaired our 40-year-old German regulator wall clock and does preventative maintenance on all our clocks. Victor has the kind of exemplary talent that is very hard to find and we are fortunate to have located such a true clock expert with his skills and abilities. Go to Clock Repair By Victor if you want the absolute best in clock restoration and repair! read more

When we moved into our new home 23 years ago, our Grandfather clock was not working. It took me several months to find a good, reliable clock repair company. I highly recommend Clock Repair by Victor. He is very knowledgeable regarding his profession. He came and assessed our clock and found the reason immediately why it had stopped working. He took some of the clock works into his shop and made a new gear. He was back in a couple of weeks with the needed item and installed the part and oiled our clock and had our family heirloom working like new again! He recommends having the clock oiled every 2 years to keep it running like new. We have him come back every two years and have not had a problem with our clock for 23 years now. The clock is at least 140 years old and is still going strong. Victor takes the time to explain in detail what he has done and why. I highly recommend him to anyone who has a clock that needs special care. Victor comes from a family of clock repair professionals and knows what he is doing! read more

We found Clockrepair through the internet searching for clock repairs. In today's world it is not easy due to the digital world we live in. We have had our clock over 50 years so it had a lot of sentimental value to us. Also we have a grandfather clock 10 years old which has never been cleaned or oiled and cuckoo clock never cleaned or oiled so I called Victor and he came out that afternoon took care of cuckoo and the grandfather clocks and told us including the cost to fix the other which required replacing the entire mechanism and upgrading it. Victor took that clock with him on February 20th and I picked it up March 7th and it is like a new clock but still our old sentimental clock that we love. Victor did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who is looking for clock repairs and he explains everything he does to your clock and he is very courteous and works in a timely manner. read more

I am pleased to give Victor at Clock Repair by Victor my highest recommendation. Recently, our Howard Miller Grandfather clock stopped working. Victor completely overhauled the clock's mechanism, and it is now working flawlessly. I was very impressed with Victor's attention to detail. In the St. Louis area, I know of no one that knows more about clocks and how to repair and maintain them than Victor. He cares about his clients. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and why, and even showed me the best way to wind, maintain and reset the clock. Years ago, one of our small children pulled the clock over on himself. He was not hurt and neither was the clock, but we were fortunate. I no longer worry about a similar incident because Victor now has the clock securely fastened to the wall. Bottom line: if you need help with your clocks, Victor is the one to call. read more

It is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Clock Repair by Victor. I brought my New England Clock Company pendulum wall clock (Model 866 NE, Franz Hermle movement) to Victor after it had inexplicably stopped working. This clock has been well cared for since it came into my possession in 2020; in fact, it had been ultrasonically cleaned and oiled for the second time in early 2025. My first impression of Victor is his zeal and intensity for his work; mechanical clocks of all kinds are clearly his life-long passion. Within days, he restored the movement to top operational form. The mechanism looks pristine and he provided a new Hermle leader for the pendulum among other modifications. He told me to call him if I ran into any difficulty after remounting the clock at home. In my opinion, his services are well worth the money. read more

I highly recommend Victor for any Clock repair. Both my clocks are over 100 years old and I now love hearing them time because of Victor's knowledge, expertise, and love of his craft. He is so passionate about his work and it shows. I trust him 100% to take care of my clocks and keep them in working order. He even does house calls! What doctor does that anymore? He repaired mine about a year and a half ago and he came by today to give them a check up, oil for a clock just like you would do for your car. They sound better, and he took the time to make sure that they were level. This visit I listened better and now fully understand all what I need to do to take care of them in between his visits. He's the best in the metro area! Excellent value for your dollar too. But for Victor, it's about caring for your clock and the love for his work. read more

I was referred to Victor by a friend who had used his services and was very pleased. I have a 50+ year-old grandfather clock, which we inherited, which had fallen apart and stopped working. Victor was able to schedule an appointment within a week. The clock mechanism required a complete overhaul. Victor explained the difference between purchasing a new mechanism and him refurbishing the existing mechanism. Ultimately, I decided on a new mechanism. Victor explained how important maintenance for the clock is. He gave me information to assist with remembering the maintenance schedule. And, he gave me a thorough explanation of how the clock works. Victor provides excellent service and knowledge of clocks. I am so glad that my friend referred me to Victor! read more

My wife cried for happy when I brought our cuckoo clock home after Victor's expert restoration. This was a clock my parents sent us from Germany around forty years ago. It has a cuckoo, a young girl looking out the window as her boyfriend climbs the ladder to elope but with her farmer father thrusting a pitchfork at the boy. It had fallen off a wall years before and we couldn't get it running. We were so pleased we brought him our 1880's Ingraham Shelf Clock that would not keep running. Again Victor restored the clock to almost new. He didn't just get it running. I highly recommend Clock Repair by Victor to anyone with a cherished heirloom they want restored. read more

Victor is a consummate professional. We had a great experience with him. I have a 75-year-old 400-day mechanical clock that belonged to my grandmother. It needed a major rebuild to bring it back to its original condition. My husband and I checked with two other businesses that appeared to do this work. However, our interviews left us unsure the work would be done correctly. Victor not only refurbished the mechanics of the clock, he delivered it to our home and gave us a tutorial on its use and care. I won't go anywhere else when the clock needs to be oiled (every two years), or if we have future clockworks needs. Thank you, Victor! read more

I called Victor about two weeks ago about a grandfather clock that had quit working a few days earlier. He made a house call the same day I called, diagnosed the problem, and carried the grandfather clock out the front door to take it for repair. Today he brought it back, working perfectly. He taught us all about how to take care of the clock--how to set it properly and how to adjust it so it keeps time just right. He had estimated the repairs would take 4-8 weeks--and here we are with a clock hat's working perfectly less than 2 weeks later! I'm happy, and I recommend Victor for skilled repair for a grandfather clock. read more

Victor was a pleasure to work with. He did a beautiful job of bringing my cuckoo clock back to life! It required cosmetic repair (my dog chewed an outside part) and restored its mechanisms. He thoroughly explained what was wrong with the mechanisms and the repairs he was recommending. He spent a lot of time explaining the correct way to hang, use, troubleshoot, and maintain the clock. There was so much I did not know and I am grateful for the time he took to explain this to me. His turn around time was quick and his price was fair. I 100% recommend Victor! He is a true artisan! read more

My wife was given an antique clock by her father. The clock had not worked in years. Victor had to spend a lot of time with it but he fixed so that it would work. Not just to get it working but he fixed some aesthetic items to make the clock look as good as it probably did when it was new. He took time to explain all that he had to do, how to pack it up for transport, and what we should do to keep it working great. It is easy to see that he cares about each clock he works on enough to put extra time in to make sure they last as long as they can. Great job!!! read more

FANTASTIC work! Our clock was not an easy fix but Victor did everything he could to make sure we were able to enjoy our beautiful grandmother clock again! Victor was able to restore a family heirloom that has been in the family for multiple generations. He had to endure multiple visits and had to try different strategies to fix our clock and HE DID! He did not give up and leave us with a broken clock. He was worth the cost! Highly recommend him for your complex clock fixing needs. Glad we get to hear the sweet tick-tocking of our wonderful clock again! read more

Victor took our 100+ year old clock and repaired the dinger and restored the face. His attention to detail was amazing. As a person who's been a long time clock repairma, he wanted to make sure you understand what he going to do and then what he did. The clock looks great and chimes!!! I'm sure he's not the cheapest guy in town but he made sure I understood what I had to do to keep it up and how I was to adjust the time if it stopped while we are away. I'd take any of our clocks to him if necessary. John Steele read more

Victor is a clock master and a professional with 20+ years of experience. He explained the process of repairing my 1985 grandfather clock with a home visit. He told me it could take 2-3 weeks to get the parts. It was much less than that! His fees are high, but he explains the process and does not rush in handling and installing the clock parts. He even fixed the placement of the clock so the bells didn't 'rattle' when one walks by it. I enjoyed our conversation and enjoy his passion of time. read more

Two years ago, my husband brought home my grandparents mantle clock, which you had repaired and restored. I set the pendulum in motion and cried when I heard the clock's first chime. What memories that chime evoked! Since that day in 2018, the clock has kept accurate time and chimed every half hour. Thank you! Before we found you, two other "experts" had failed in their attempts to set this old clock right. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for you diligence and expertise. Thank you! read more

Suggest that you look at his reviews on Google. The negative Yelp reviews appear to have confused this clock repairman with someone else who repairs clocks with a similar name. Enthusiastic 5 Stars. 3rd generation clock repairman with roots in Ukraine and Germany. Very competent and transparent explanation of costs to bring clocks back to reliable working order. He is very charming but also very chatty. Be prepared for long discussions when you meet with him! read more

I purchased a cuckoo clock from Germany years ago, and it stopped working. I brought it to Victor, and he did an entire clock restoration! It now works beautifully, and Victor came out to make some minor adjustments free of charge. Restoration was expensive, but purchasing a new Black Forest cuckoo clock was more costly than the restoration. Victor will keep my clock running smoothly for years. I highly recommend using Victor for any clock repairs! read more

We have a very old clock that hasn't worked in decades (yes, decades). I was hoping he could get it running, but he did more than that. Victor also fixed the housing as well as the clock's chimes. Hearing the clock is something we didn't expect to be reverent about, but as we heard the chimes in our home for the first time we sat in silence and just let the moment sink in. It's amazing what a piece of furniture can become when it's cared for. read more
