I am Robin Nance, a Certified Master Clockmaker(CMC) and past Business Member of the British Horological Institute, along with other accolades. Preserving and restoring clocks to working condition is a very rewarding job and I take it very seriously. As one of the premier clock repairers in America I take great pride in doing my work with honesty and integrity. All repairs are guaranteed for one year. I will make your clock work as it should.
I retired from a career of race car driving, and instructing with Skip Barber Racing Schools. I had trained in clock repair while in my twenties and after retiring from the racing world I pursued that interest as a second career. I have been repairing clocks professionally since 1985. My fascination with clocks and how they work was spurred by an interruption of sleep while visiting my grandparents. In the middle of the night I was awakened by a clock chiming that was in my grandparents living room. The first thought was too unplug it, but much to my surprise there was no cord. The next morning I asked about the clock and how it worked and as my grandfather explained how the clock worked, by winding it with a key, a future clock repairman was born. This lead to a vast collection of fine mechanical clocks. As a collector I quickly learned there was only one correct method but many wrong ways to repair a clock. So I began an apprenticeship with a master clockmaker to learn the proper methods. After years of training and retiring from racing I began repairing clocks professionally. Now as a veteran of the profession I am well educated in the correct way to repair a clock. Hundreds of customers trust their family heirlooms with me every year!
