This store has been here for years! Cute shop with a ton of clocks and some watches. Also, some other accessories, such as a pair of hand made wood earrings that I purchased for a friend. Service is just how I like it, no pressure, "let me know if you need help". The prices are on par for what he carries, including for being in a tourist town, so that is nice. I'll always go in when I visit Solvang. read more

Hi, we wanted to purchase an amazing clock. The shop is full of great clocks. The owner showed us many clocks and what they did. Very happy with the service we got, and the beautiful clock we walked away with. Prices seem better than other clock shops in Solvang. read more

We were walking around and stumbled in this shop. I loved how they had a clock magnet. Such a cute sovenir gift. I purchased one for my mom and the man who helped me checked the battery and cleaned the surface of clock. read more

One thing that brings back memories of my Grandparents is Coo coo clocks. Since I was young I've always loved the intricate designs and the sound of a coo coo clock every hour. I have always wished to own one myself. Having friends who were in Germany ship me one was far too expensive. While wandering around solvang I happened to see this little shop, almost hidden if you're coming from the opposite direction. Upon walking inside I couldn't believe my eyes! All the coo coo clocks I could possibly want! Imported from Germany! I wanted them all! I honestly didn't even realize there were so many designs because all of the ones I had seen were the same type of designs. So many incredibly gorgeous clocks! Catherine was so sweet in allowing me to just admire the clocks and turned the hands so I could see what the coo coo sounded like on various clocks. Choosing a clock was hard I loved all of them so much! Catherine assisted in finding the perfect one. I appreciate her so much, she was one of the sweetest people I encountered on this trip. I appreciate her patience with me as I chose my perfect coo coo. I was never rushed or pressured during the buying process. This shop is so amazing from steins to coo coo clocks and jewelry it's definitely a family favorite shop here in solvang. We will return to this shop if we end up back in this cute town one day. I HIGHLY recommend stopping in and checking it out. read more

One of my favorite shops to visit in this town. So many very fine clocks. All very well made. Just don't go right on the hour. Three hundred clocks all playing coo coo at the same time. It is quote the experience. But I must admit the owner educated me about the fine clocks and if ever I am in the mood to buy a coo coo clock I would definitely buy one here. read more

I have been purchasing clocks from Hanson's Clock Shop since 1998 I have purchased numerous cuckoo clocks, rhythem clocks, and some smaller ones..Both Katherine and Chris have always been more than fair with us. It is definitely worth the drive from Los Angeles that we make periodically. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I have never felt so inclined to write a negative review. My husband, son (5) and I drove up from Los Angeles to spend the day in Solvang with the intention of stopping by the clock shop to buy a cuckoo clock. It was 2:30pm and we got to the clock shop and the door was surprisingly locked, but people were inside. The shop closed at 4pm as it stated on the door, so we politely knocked on the door to get someone's attention to open/unlock the door. The man behind the counter made eye contact with us, then looked down and simply ignored us and went about his business, as if we weren't even there. We stood there and waited politely, then tried knocking again and he wouldn't give us any attention or even unlock the door. if he were to be closed a simple "sorry we're not open anymore" would've sufficed. We were so baffled by the blatant rudeness from this man we couldn't believe it. There were 3 customers in the store and the store hours stated open, but he wouldn't open the door for us. It was so bizarre. Stay away from this place -- they obviously hate children. read more

We met Chris, the owner, and he is not only one of the nicest but also undoubtedly the most honest shop owners we've ever met. My grandma and I came in with for a watch battery replacement. After trying to fit the correct battery for my grandma's uniquely sized watch that had stopped working, he came back just to tell us that it didn't even need replacing at all. Not sure what he did, but he fixed it on the spot instead of charging us for a replacement like another owner had done to her prior. He deserves your business read more

This review is about 10 years overdue. On our visit to Solvang, we stopped in to visit this wonderful clock shop. The shopkeeper was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We purchased a few things and one of them is a whimsical wall clock to fit a small space on the wall. To this day --10 years later, the awesome little clock is still working great with the swaying chimney sweep and boy on the pendulum. Glad to see that the store is still open even in this time of Covid. read more

We made a stop in Solvang while on our road trip to San Francisco. After lunch we roamed the streets of charming Solvang and the boyfriend and I walked in here to take a peak because I noticed a beer stein in the window of a monk and also noticed that they had those Dala horses in here. This place is small yet packed with amazing clocks from all over. Lots of Cuckoo Clocks in all sizes. Even if you are not looking for a clock and are in the area you should pop in here. The owner was a little quiet. She was not a very welcoming person. Not sure if she was annoyed that we were lookers and not buyers. But, I am sorry.. I have no need for a clock nor a beer stein but they are fun to look at. Especially when the beer stein is $$. I wanted to ask why are they so pricey. Perhaps it's the material used or the fact that it could be an import etc etc. But, I figured I would keep my mouth shut and just observe quietly. I must say that I am a curious person and always have questions about things! Knowledge is power but in here I just rather go home and Google why are "beer stein's" expensive and why are Dala horses expensive. I mean I bought one at a thrift shop made in Sweden for dirt cheap once... Anyhoot.. It's worth a look.. They have other things other than clocks like jewelry and etc... read more

Catherine! What a lovely woman! We came by this shop a few years back and my husband saw this stein in the window that he really liked. The shop happened to be closed that day so we weren't able to go inside. But through their display window, we were able to see all the awesome goodies they had inside and vowed to return to the shop whenever we found ourselves in Solvang. Fast forward, 3 years later, still not having retuned, I phoned Catherine and she was able to send me the stein, not the one we saw a while back, but one that was similar. Transaction was easy as pie and my boys are looking forward to gifting the stein to their dad on his birthday. read more

Katherine and Cris are wonderful!!! Very friendly and informative. This was the first time I bought a cuckoo clock and they were both very helpful, the clock I wanted they sold out of so i asked Cris if there were any other clocks in my price range he showed me 2 other clocks. I picked out the one I wanted and Katherine went in back to get the one I wanted she opened the box and saw that one of the parts was broken on it, so she went and got another one she opened that one and looked it over to make sure nothing was broken.she took it out showed me how to take it apart and what to do and how to put it together. Before she put it back in the box for me Cris told her he would like to look at it and make sure it sounded right and was good to go. The clock came with a 4 year warranty and they said that if anything happened or I had any questions to give them a call. I felt great about my purchase and will be back once I save up for the owl one I really want. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks again read more

I have purchased a few clocks from Hanson's including two cuckoo clocks. Recently, one of the cuckoo clocks was making a terrible sound. I emailed Chris and sent him video of the sounds. He tried to diagnose the problem and told me how to fix it so I would not have to send the clock to him. We were unable to repair it so I sent the clock to him. He did not charge me for the replacement of a governor's box or any labor! My clock now sounds wonderful. Certainly, I would recommend purchasing a clock because Chris stands behind his clocks. read more

I would recommend this place over Pebble People, the other clock shop. I found Hanson's much friendlier with a larger variety of cuckoo clocks at slightly cheaper prices for the same clock. Definitely a little gem in Solvang! Found myself humming Pinocchio's theme song (totally not PC) and it occurred to me Solvang must be the perfect place to find a cuckoo clock! I was definitely not disappointed. While it may not be the largest shop, Hanson's definitely has the largest variety. From tiny cuckoo clocks and large ones, there's a clock for everybody. Catherine was very friendly and took the time to explain how the clocks worked and the differences between many of them. We eventually found the perfect clock behind the door and we're definitely pleased to hear it was also on sale! So don't be afraid to enquire. After purchase, she packaged the clock in the original box while explaining the different mechanisms of the specific clock. Each clock comes with a 4 year warranty. The box is stamped with a date and a receipt is given inside the box. read more

We have been to this place a few times and they are always precise while relaxed and they always provide good customer service while also projecting a warm old-country kind of feel. This is absolutely our go-to place in Solvang for anything with our cuckoo clocks. read more

Dear Hanson's clock shop: About a month ago i've visited your shop in Solvang and purchased a Felix the cat clock for my son, as well as an eight-day cuckoo clock for myself. Mr. Hanson was incredibly patient with me (and even stayed open late) while I struggled to select a clock from your large selection. Then he kindly drove me back to the RV campground. Anyway, I wanted to express my appreciation and send you the attached photos showing that I finally got the clock up on the wall. Thank you very kindly! I will recommend your shop to my friends and family. Dave read more

Cute little shop with various clocks and European dolls. One lady managing the store but wasn't very friendly or engaging. Found this place from an online list of places to go with your kids but there was a clock with foul language on it, which wasn't necessary. There are other clock places in the area too I might check out next time. read more

My family and I saw a clock outside their window and thought we should go in. They have a lot of clocks but not as much as other shops near by. But they do have a wide selection of clocks and beer steins. They also have a section of beer steins that are on sale. One of the owners was working but seemed to be busy behind the counter. We did end up buying a cute magnet. This is a cute place to visit. read more

My husband wanted to walk in to check it out. There were tons of wall clocks and cuckoo clocks, but also had German beer steins, jewelry, and watches too. My husband ended up buying a classic style watch by a Danish brand, Bering. We never heard of it until we came here. The lady explained to us a little about the brand and let him try a few different styles. Overall, easy transaction, but we later realized that she never went over the product warranty or stamped the card as the approved seller. Maybe we'll have to give them a call. read more

We stopped into this shop while on vacation. I've always loved cuckoo clocks and because I was in Solvang and feeling the culture we purchased one and took it home to Utah. The fact that the owners were so friendly and knowledgeable and offered such a great warranty definitely encouraged our purchase. We had to use the warranty recently when we encountered a problem and after first trying to help us over the phone, Chris told us to send it in. Within just a couple of weeks we received our clock back and it worked and sounded better than ever! He even reimbursed us for shipping! Such great service from great people who run a great shop! read more

We always stop by this shop when we are in Solvang! Hanson's Clock Shop Jewelers is wonderful. It's right across the parking lot space in Solvang on the same street as the windmill. I recently stopped by again a week ago and bought another wooden watch by the brand Tense wooden watches. I have a total of three watches bought from this shop now. All of them are in great condition still! They look as new as the day I bought them. Definitely recommend. I buy one every year when I stop by Solvang. Make sure to stop by this shop if you get the chance. Definitely a fun shop to walk around and look at (especially when it turns the hour and all the clocks in the store start chiming)! -Mark and Shab read more

Fantastic clock shop with a true German cuckoo clock collection! Must visit if you're into such clocks and other collectibles.

Great store, the owners are very kind and attentive, ready to help and advise. The Clock, Jewelers and items are wonderful. We bougth a cucu clock from the black forest (Germany) and is amazing. read more

This place is amazing! Most helpful! It's that lovely time of year again when it's time to move the clocks! I went a whole half a year with my cuckoo clock chiming the wrong time. I was not willing to go another minute with the wrong chime! So I called these lovely people where I purchased my little clock. Catherine answered the phone but she was busy and asked if could call me back. So I gave her my number and she promptly called me back. She patiently assisted me while a proceeded to get the correct time on my clock. After two attempts (because I can't tell time) I got it!!! Catherine was so patient and waited until I made sure that I had the correct time. I mentioned that I had another chiming clock that I needed to get correct and she knew just the questions to ask me to help me set that one too! Thank you Catherine! read more

Stopped in Solvang, CA on my roadtrip to Santa Barbara and came across Hanson's Clock Shop. Passing by it caught my eye because of all the wonderful cuckoo clocks. I popped in to check them out and I asked the women working that day, Catherine (who is also one of the owner's), if she had any winding keys? She immediately said yes and went to grab one for me. When she came back I told her why I needed it and how I came across some clocks that needed repair and were missing their keys. She kindly gave me a key and a little girl on the swing which was also missing from one of my clocks for free. I tried to pay her for both items but she refused. I am so grateful for her help and kindness. I will definitely stop back in her shop in the future and if you are in Solvang I encourage you to give Hanson's a visit too. You won't regret it. The clocks are beautiful and the owner's truly care about their customers. read more

I live in Ventura and my mom and I and my daughter went to Solvang to drop off my cuckoo clock to get repaired on November 7th 2015 they told me it would take 6 weeks to repair I called after about 8 weeks to see if it was ready for pickup and they said no it would be ready in three more weeks and they would put calling I never received a call and I called and they had not started and the Cuckoo-Clock at all I am very angry they never started and I will never go there again!!!!!!!! read more

This place imediately drew my attention. All the cukoo clocks just like my Grandmother had, and passed on to my mom. They place music and have dancing people in them. We bought a kitty clock like the one in the pic. Was a bit on the pricey side, but who could resist a kitty clock. Wish I could afford to buy everything there. It was an adults inner child heaven. read more

5 Stars for Hanson's Clock Shop!!! My wife purchased a 4 tiered Christmas pyramid in Germany in the early 80's. It hasn't been operational in many years. She is battling cancer and I was determined to get it working this year. After watching a YouTube video about adjusting the pyramid, it was clear that we were missing the nylon bushing. It was Chris Hansen from Hansen's Clock Shop that did the video. I reached out on a Sunday and spoke with Catherine Hanson. She was extremely helpful. She didn't have the part in stock but she found one for me. Keeping me updated via text. She sent me the part along with two packages of candles I requested. They arrived the day before my wife's birthday, which is today. We are grateful for Catherine's outstanding customer service, follow up and overall sweet nature. Merry Christmas! read more

Even if you don't need a clock, it's worth stopping in on the hour to see the amazing collection of cuckoo clocks in this family-owned little shop. Chris took over the place from his mom and it hasn't changed a bit since I was little. Turn back the clock. Sing whatever clock-themed song you want. read more

We always come when the hours on the web site say they are open and yet they are always closed. It's frustrating when you plan a trip to look at the store and it's not open. Thankfully there's so much else to do in Solvang but it's still disappointing when the store is closed when the online hours say it's open. Guess we will have to just call from now on to personally check. I'd recommend if you are coming just to check this store out to call and not count on internet info for hours. read more

I had a wonderful trip to Solvang yesterday. But I knew my trip wouldn't be complete without stopping in to the clock store I've heard so much about! Upon walking in, I couldn't believe how beautiful all the clocks and steins where! The woman who worked there (Catherine) asked me how I was doing and if I needed help. I told her I was looking for a cuckoo clock and I wasn't sure where to start. So she decided to show me around the clocks and give me information on the different styles and the difference between each other (it was very helpful and informative). After showing me around I decided on what clock I wanted. Not only did she give me an amazing deal on the clock but she showed me how to put it together and about the 4 year warranty that came with it! To be 100% honest, the Hansons clock shop was the highlight of the trip and I look forward to stopping by again. Thank you guys so much! read more
