Nashville Clock is a clock repair and restoration service based in Old Hickory, Tennessee, serving the greater Nashville area and Middle Tennessee. The business specializes in the maintenance, repair, and restoration of mechanical and antique timepieces, with a particular focus on grandfather clocks. According to the company, it has operated in Middle Tennessee for more than 40 years and no longer maintains a public storefront, instead working on an appointment basis and through house calls. The shop services a range of clock types and well-known clock brands, and it positions itself around the preservation of timepieces and the histories attached to them.
Services
Nashville Clock offers repair, service, and restoration across several categories of clocks. The services listed on the company’s website include:
- Repair and service of wall, mantel, indoor and outdoor, novelty, antique, and battery clocks
- Grandfather clock maintenance, including house calls for in-home service
- Preventative maintenance and lubrication for timepieces
- Cleaning and oiling for clocks experiencing problems
- Major restoration for antique or non-functional clocks
- Moving services, including packing for long-distance moves, local transport in an enclosed vehicle, and setup and oiling after a move
The company describes three general levels of work: regular scheduled maintenance, “problem” clocks that require cleaning and oiling, and antique or non-functional clocks that need major restoration. It recommends that grandfather clocks be oiled approximately every four years.
Nashville Clock services clocks from brands including Howard Miller, Sligh, Hermle, and Ridgeway, as well as antique clocks. The About page notes that the team also works on German cuckoos, French mantle clocks, and American Banjo clocks. However, the clock-repair page states that cuckoo clocks currently carry a one-year backlog. Two additional offerings, “Parts & Movements” and “Project Clocks” for rebuild, are listed on the site as “Coming Soon.”
Regarding policies, the website states that the business provides free estimates on clock repair while the customer waits and that no work is done without the customer’s approval. For moving services, the company asks for at least four weeks’ notice when possible.
About
Nashville Clock has been operating in Middle Tennessee for over 40 years. According to the website, the current owners are Mike and Ann, and the management has more than 40 years of experience in the clock repair industry. The company states that it employs three horologists, each with 30 or more years of experience dedicated exclusively to clock repair, giving the team combined experience that exceeds 80 years.
The business emphasizes that its repairmen work exclusively in clock repair. As stated on the site, “many people tinker with clocks while working other full time jobs,” whereas the company’s repairmen focus solely on the craft, which it says allows them to draw on decades of collective knowledge for complex repairs. The company frames its mission around preserving timepieces and the histories they carry, stating, “Clocks are the way in which we believe happiness can be achieved and memories created,” and noting that it aims to honor each clock’s unique story through its work.
