With his expertise he was able to find the problem AND the parts to fix it. One of the most knowledgeable guys around for a dying art and welling to go the extra step. Always kept me apprised of what was going on. After talking to him I found he also repaired a clock for my brother a while back. Definitely would recommend Central Clock Repair to anyone . He is a gem!

Don Brown has worked on several of our clocks with some success. However, when he tried to fix our…read moreBlack Forest cuckoo clock he completely failed. After three tries, and over $500, our clock still does not run. Three times he told us the clock was repaired, and when we put it on the wall, it would not play music, signal the hour or even run to keep time. We sent Mr. Brown a letter asking if he wanted to try to fix the clock one more time, and he never answered our letter even though he could have by phone, mail, text, or email. My advice is to deal with him carefully and be sure he knows how to fix the clock you are concerned with. Perhaps you should check the work before you pay him. Our $500 dollars was quite simply wasted. Obviously we should have checked before sending a check.

I tried to pay her, and she wouldn't let me. She went far above what would have been expected, and she said she was happy to have made my day, which she did. Thank you again Nanette for your kind and over-the-top attention.Julia

I've been in there a few times, both for jewelry and to get an expensive clock fixed. It was a…read morequality experience each time. Everyone was friendly and helpful; excellent one on one service and assistance--made you feel special. I have to comment on the appearance and arrangement of the interior also--super easy to get around and see everything--and everything was sparkling clean. Finally, the clock repair was absolutely superb--that guy is an expert---did a great and relatively quick job on what other clock people wouldn't do or couldn't do---highly recommend this place!

He fixes watches and is G.I.A. certified.

I am so very pleased and will be back with all my repair and jewelry retail needs.

However we parked at the mall across the street on this trip and this was right across the street. My husband really wants a grandfather clock and he was very excited to check out the selection. Prices seemed kind of high to me but to be fair I don't know anything about grandfather clocks, lol. They also have a nice selection of Frankenmuth magnets, they ranged from like $4 to $10. I ended up buying one of the $4 ones. The reason I'm bumping up this review to five stars is because I lost my Fitbit there (Fitbit Zip, an old one that sits on my waist, not my watch) and when my husband and I got to Kern's and realized it, we rushed back to the store to check there first (it was 530pm). The (owner? Employee?) welcomed us back, and another customer immediately pointed to it on the floor. Saved us a lot of hassle and had they closed immediately at 530pm, the doors may have been locked. Looking forward to checking this store out again the next time we are in town.

Always a great conversation and an education in time pieces. The group in the back can repair or restore most anything. We've had two intricate grandfathers restored and they do incredible work. One took six months and the other seven. The wait was well worth it. Back to the store. They have clocks of all sizes and price ranges. On our initial visit to the store we spent over an hour, like it were a museum. This isn't the dime store, so know that you'll be paying a hefty price for most any clock here. Again, it's an investment that justifies the price. This is also your place for authentic German Christmas pyramids. We bought the pyramid with Seiffen church for under $100. A neat little wooden pyramid with a German church, carolers and a Christmas tree. When the tea lights are lit, the rising heat causes the blades to turn. I recommend that on your first visit you take in everything. If something grabs you, you grab it back. Otherwise, bring your funds on all future trips! 05/22
