JFK Clock Repair

Modern Clock Repair Shop in the North Suburban Boston, MA area

A fully-equipped, modern clock repair shop near Boston, Massachusetts.

Convenient to Boston and eastern Massachusetts, including: north suburban Boston, the North Shore, Cape Ann, and southern New Hampshire. Mail-order repairs from across the USA, are welcome. I provide “house calls” for grandfather and tall clocks.

My shop repairs many types of antique and modern clocks, including mantel, shelf, bracket, tambour, wall, lantern, regulator, banjo, cuckoo, grandfather (tall), grandmother, Jefferson Golden Hour clocks, and even many types of battery (quartz) clocks.

And more. Please inquire.

The oldest clock I’ve ever rebuilt, was originally built in the mid-1600s.

I can repair clocks that were made way back then; clocks that were made much more recently; or clocks that were made in the centuries in between!

Thank you for finding jfkclock.com. Please browse the site for any information you seek, and please inquire if you have any questions. I will be happy to speak with you about your repair needs.

Reviews

John is amazing, a clock whisperer! He is well worth the wait. John has helped me keep my grandfather clock ticking for ten years now--no small victory given how old clock is. John is honest, intuitive and cares about customer service, and keeping our old friends ticking. I can't recommend enough! And he's so personable as well. Always a lovely interaction!

Very responsive, helpful. Someone I would use. Informative, straight forward. Honest.

I have an heirloom Jefferson Golden Hour clock that suddenly stopped working. I live in Los Angeles so we did the transaction by mail. JFK completely restored my clock, and I've had it for a month and it's running like new. Thanks, JFK!

Just got my cuckoo clock back from JFK Clock Repair. very happy money well spent. Robert Salisbury Mass.

John did a fantastic job on my Pearl Grandfather Clock. He took the time to explain what the issues were and suggested the best way to get it up and running again. I found John very courteous and a real great guy to work with! I've since added a 2nd grandfather clock to my home and won't hesitate to call JFK again should it need any servicing.

What Does JFK Clock Repair Look Like?

JFK has a small retail area for repair drop-offs and pickups (always call first, please, before making the trip to visit me. I’m not “open” every day).

You may be familiar with the Norman Rockwell painting which depicts a small store with watches and clocks “everywhere”, and an elderly man at his repair bench. This is an idyllic scene, but JFK’s retail/customer area has very little resemblance to it.

My workshop isn’t within view of the front drop-off/pickup area, but is on the same premises. It includes tooling as small as watchmakers’ screwdrivers and tweezers, and as large as full-sized machine tools that can weigh a half-ton. Many clock parts are quite small, but when replacement parts must be fabricated, it can require medium and large sized machinery. As such, JFK hosts a fully equipped machine shop, fabricating equipment, and various types of repair tooling.

So, whilst my customer area doesn’t particularly look like the Norman Rockwell painting, my actual repair shop also has little resemblance to it.

In fact, by the end of a full day of clock rebuilds in the machine shop, I probably look nothing like a clockmaker is supposed to look like. I’m usually coated in coolant oil and metal chips; my face dirtied with oil, grit, and dust.

Regardless of appearances, I, and my shop, are well-equipped to repair or rebuild your clock. Please see the “About Me” and the “Repair” sections of the website, for more information regarding my qualifications and my experience.

Thank you for visiting JFKCLOCK.COM! I welcome your inquiry.
