Rescue Clocks is my personal horological collection, based in Holt, Michigan, and shaped by a lifelong respect for mechanical timekeeping. I am a practicing horologist with a passion for rescuing, restoring, identifying, and preserving antique and vintage mechanical clocks.

Every clock offered for sale comes from my own collection. These are not bulk acquisitions or quick resales. Each piece has been selected, evaluated, lived with, and kept running. When a clock is listed for sale, it is only because I am making room for the next rescue.

All clocks are fully functional, carefully tested, and honestly described. I believe mechanical clocks deserve clarity, respect, and accuracy; not vague “untested” labels or exaggerated claims.

From My Collection

The clocks you see here are companions I have chosen to part with thoughtfully. Each one represents craftsmanship, history, and mechanical integrity. They are offered at fair, realistic prices, reflecting what they are, not inflated for novelty or trend.

✔ Fully functional mechanical movements
✔ Timekeeping and strike/chime tested
✔ Accurately identified and described
✔ No “for parts,” “as-found,” or untested clocks

Local Pickup, Setup & Service

For customers in the mid-Michigan area, local pickup is welcome. I’m happy to assist with proper setup and operation, ensuring your clock is installed correctly and runs as intended.

I also offer local setup and minor service for existing mechanical clocks. If you have a clock that needs adjustment, evaluation, or care, feel free to contact me.

Buying & Selling Clocks

I’m always interested in rescuing interesting antique and vintage mechanical clocks. If you have a clock you no longer want or are considering selling, reach out, I may be interested in giving it a proper second life.

Why “Rescue Clocks”?

Mechanical clocks are not disposable objects. They were built to outlast their makers and deserve attention, patience, and understanding. I’ve rescued many from neglect, improper storage, and well-meaning but damaging repairs. Letting one go is never casual; but sometimes it’s the right time.

If one of these clocks speaks to you, it’s ready for its next chapter.
