Schatz clocks are renowned for their precision and durability, particularly standing out in the realm of 400-day or anniversary clocks and maritime timepieces. These clocks, crafted by the Schatz Clock Company, are celebrated for their intricate torsion pendulum mechanisms, which require winding only once a year, a remarkable feat in mechanical clock design. The craftsmanship in Schatz clocks is evident in their consistent timekeeping and elegant aesthetic, often featuring ornate dials and finely crafted cases.

The Schatz Clock Company, officially known as Aug. Schatz & Söhne, was founded, in 1881, in Germany and rose to prominence in the post-World War II era as a leading manufacturer of 400-day clocks. These clocks, also known as anniversary clocks for their once-a-year winding requirement, became synonymous with the Schatz brand. The company’s innovation and mastery in torsion pendulum clock design allowed it to dominate this niche market. Schatz clocks were not only functional but also beautifully designed, making them popular across the globe. Despite facing challenges during the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s, the Schatz Clock Company’s legacy endures, marked by a commitment to quality and an enduring appeal among collectors and those who appreciate the art of traditional clockmaking.

David Keeler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My Seth Thomas clock is a family heirloom – it was given to my grandfather in the 1950’s as a recognition for his community service. It fell from my fireplace mantel and was damaged. I was fortunate to find Times Ticking on the Internet. They did a wonderful job repairing and restoring my clock which now sits proudly on my mantel again. I could not be more pleased with the quality of work and the helpfulness offered at every point in the process. This is truly a professional organization which I highly recommend to anyone needing their services.

Peter Wilson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trusted a very sentimental clock to Times Ticking for refurbishment. Spoke on the phone and immediately felt that they were the right company. They explained the process to us and the turn around time. We received our clock back in the agreed time frame and were amazed at the quality of repair not only to the clock casing but the clock works as if new. The clock belonged to my father in law who passed recently, we placed the clock on the mantle and my 92 year old mother in law heard the chimes and it brought tears to her eyes and a smile to her face. THANK YOU for that gift. 10 out of 10

Rebecca Hill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wonderful attention to detail, careful diligence, and reasonably priced. My clock is working "like new" and I am so pleased.

Susan Runk ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My parents own a schoolhouse circa 1870’s that I had cleaned for their 60th anniversary. The job was done on time at the exact price quoted, I would trust no one else with my clocks. The staff was very friendly and communicated with me when the job was complete. Thanks for the great work!! I’ll be back for sure.

Peter Vroom ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was initially hesitant to send off a clock to another state without personally visiting a physical store. However, the staff at Times Ticking immediately contacted me once the clock was received and provided a quote and estimated timeline to fix. I received the fixed clock back through the mail much earlier than anticipated and in wonderful working condition! Despite being over 100 years old, the clock mechanism looks almost brand new after cleaning and repair. Thank you!

Becky G. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so happy with how my Seth Thomas clock turned out! Thanks to Times Ticking I learned that I inherited a priceless 200+ year-old wall clock (with wood gears), and also thanks to Times Ticking I am able to use it to keep time in my office and enjoy hearing the warm “tick tock” while I work. Effective communication, exemplary care with my antique, and reasonable pricing.

Casey Howard⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our old Seth Thomas clock was destined to be passed down to another generation (4th) not working. Thanks to TT for giving it life and a future. They had to totally dismantle it, redo bushings and replace some parts. What a job well done, and a lot of work! Great communicators as well as doing follow up to make sure that all is well. Thank you all at Times Ticking.

Schatz Anniversary Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the Schatz Anniversary Clock, also known as the 400-Day Clock, stemmed from the desire to create a timepiece that combined long-running precision with elegant design. First developed in the mid-20th century, this clock was named for its ability to run for a full year on a single wind, symbolizing enduring craftsmanship and innovation. Schatz drew from the torsion pendulum mechanism pioneered in the late 19th century, refining it with advancements in materials and engineering to enhance reliability and accuracy. The design, often featuring a glass dome and visible rotating pendulum, was inspired by the idea of creating a decorative centerpiece that celebrated milestones, such as weddings or anniversaries. The Schatz Anniversary Clock became a timeless symbol of durability, elegance, and the celebration of special occasions.

We know that your Schatz clock is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert clockmakers strive to make sure your clock can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Schatz Regulator Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the Schatz regulator clock stemmed from the 19th-century tradition of creating highly accurate timepieces for use in public and professional spaces, such as schools, offices, and train stations. Schatz sought to honor this heritage by producing regulator clocks that emphasized precision and simplicity, aligning with the brand’s reputation for German engineering excellence. The clean, symmetrical design of the regulator clock, featuring weight-driven or spring-driven movements and a prominent pendulum, was influenced by the need for reliability and easy readability. Schatz added its own craftsmanship to the traditional design, incorporating finely crafted wooden cases and intricate detailing, making their regulator clocks not only practical but also decorative. The clocks were designed to symbolize dependability and timeless style, blending functional accuracy with aesthetic beauty.

Schatz Ship's Bell Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the Schatz ship’s bell clock came from the maritime tradition of using ship’s bells to mark the passage of time and the start of watch shifts aboard ships. Schatz sought to create a timepiece that captured the nautical heritage and rugged reliability required at sea while adapting it for use in homes and offices. The design, featuring a sturdy brass casing and precise chime mechanism, was influenced by the need for durability in harsh maritime environments. The ship’s bell chime, striking every half-hour, was a nod to the historic practice of maintaining order and structure on vessels. Schatz infused this practical timekeeping tradition with their signature German craftsmanship, making the Ship’s Bell Clock a timeless piece that resonates with sailors, collectors, and nautical enthusiasts alike.

Schatz Wall Clock Repair >

The inspiration for the Schatz wall clock came from the desire to create reliable, functional, and visually appealing timepieces suitable for both homes and public spaces.
