Robbie is a true old-school technician, practicing a kind of work that is rapidly disappearing. He…read moreis precise, methodical, and transparent about his process--while his work may take time, he always makes clear what his backlog looks like. The result, however, is work done to the highest standard. It's rare to find anyone else still carrying out this kind of craftsman-level horological repair. In my case, he had to calculate the number of gear rotations per hour in order to cut a new mainspring for a clock whose original was destroyed by movers. Robbie even showed me his hand-done calculations, which highlighted the depth of his skill and attention to detail. His services are not inexpensive, but where else could I have found someone capable of repairing a 19th-century Swedish clock in 21st-century Virginia?

Doesn't get any better than Robbie. I wouldn't think of taking my clocks to anyone else for repair…read moreor cleaning #spoton #reliable#ontime

Instead of using…read morethe pins that discreetly hold it on he drills holes in the face and used brass screws in the face. Then he told me it didn't run which it did when I got it home, put it in beat and straightened out the escutcheon he had bent. I wouldn't take him my Timex if I had to.

I reached out to Jim as a last resort as we weren't sure it could be repaired. He came to our home , took the movement with him and several months later came back and successfully got it working like new . He took the time to explain everything to us and told us to reach out if we needed him again - it's been several months and the clocks works perfectly!!! I would recommend Jim to anyone - he a master and his knowledge is so impressive!!

It's very easy to say nothing but negative things about Bobby.

He then promised to deliver them 3 times and neither showed up nor notified me that he wasn't. And finally he took my Chelsea ship's clock with the key taped to it. I had to go out to his shop a second time after multiple threats to get the clocks and the Chelsea key was not there. (They are about $80 to replace). That was a lie. do not under any circumstances use this guy unless you neither care for quality of repair, respect for your time, or his showing up. Arrogant to the max.

I'm embarrassed to admit hat we were negligent in caring for our inherited grandfather's…read moregrandfather clock. Haha. We moved it across country and didn't oil it at all for 6 years! Yes, that's dumb. We made an in home appointment with Sam who is friendly and respectful, wears shoe covers and a mask. He got right to work taking the works out and checking everything inside. Surprisingly the clock wasn't dirty but desperately needed oil. Delaying oiling it caused some minor wear on 2 gears. But he said it's not enough to need replacement or repair. I wouldn't have known the difference if he had said it did but he was honest. He oiled it, answered all my many questions as he worked and was done in 30 minutes. He asked if we would like to make an appointment for an oiling in 2 years! If you sign up for routine maintenance the price is discounted. And I need reminders! My friend had an appointment same day. Her clock needed some repairs but his estimate was way less than other clock repairs we've had done in the past. He is in great demand and has a few months wait for repairs to be completed but it'll be done right and with quality parts some of which he hand makes.

I had taken my clock movement to other shops before finding Sam and was disappointed that the…read moreissues were not resolved. As others have said, Sam is the consummate professional. He makes house calls and got my family's nearly 100 year old grandfather clock running superbly. He patiently explained every step of the process - from replacing parts to why the malfunction occurred. Cannot recommend Sam highly enough! Very fair prices as well!
