HALL OF SHAME

HALL OF SHAME


Sadly in the many, many years of being in the clock repair trade I have come across many bad repairs which has led me to create this page "Hall of Shame".
There are many people who take up clock repairs as a hobby or as an extension of their love of clocks and offer a small repair charge which seems to be great for the customers pocket but in reality will work out far more expensive had the repairs/servicing had of been carried out properly in the first place due to the trained professional having more hours of work to put right someone else's mistakes.
Unfortunately bad repairs to clocks are not seen by the customer as this is all hidden away in a nice attractive case.

The pictures that follow are just some cases of shoddy workmanship that has come into our workshop to make customers aware -
 "The bitter taste of poor quality lasts longer than the sweetness of a low price".

This page will be updated regularly with any bad clock repairs that should sadly make it into our hands.
