Tevendale & Co. in Glasgow has earned a distinguished reputation as a specialist in vintage clock repairs, with over 50 years of experience as a family-run business. They are particularly noted for their expertise in handling delicate antique timepieces—work they recommend entrusting only to specialists due to the skill and care required.
Their comprehensive services cover a wide range of vintage clocks, from antique grandfather clocks and ornate mantle clocks to traditional cuckoo clocks, which are a speciality. These intricate timepieces consist of many moving parts, including bellows, pipes, gears, and escapements, which require meticulous attention. Wear and tear over time can lead to degradation, causing issues such as the cuckoo failing to emerge, the pendulum ceasing to swing, or general timekeeping inaccuracies.
The repair process at Tevendale's begins with a thorough assessment, where their expert horologists meticulously examine each component for signs of damage or wear. Proper cleaning is crucial, as dust and old oil can cause the mechanics to seize. Once cleaned, every part is inspected, and any worn or broken components are repaired or replaced. Extensive testing guarantees that every part of the clock is in impeccable working order before it is returned.
A testimonial from 2007 praised their chief technician, Mr Philip Morris, for bringing a late father's fob-watch back to its "original glorious state with care and attention belying many years of technical expertise and knowledge". Located at 12 Renfield Street in Glasgow city centre, Tevendales remains a trusted destination for anyone looking to restore or maintain a treasured vintage clock.
