You've found the home of American Timekeeper, the very best place for vintage pocket watch restoration. These timepieces were an important part of the daily lives of our ancestors and we can restore yours back to factory specs while preserving the mileage from a century of service.
Anybody can replace a single part like a mainspring, but we don't do that. Every component must function correctly for it to run properly, and we can't replace just one piece without checking all of the others.
What we will do is restore your heirloom back to original tolerances with every component matching and correct by using a wide range of specialized services for antique watches that you won't find elsewhere.
It takes well over a hundred close-tolerance parts working in unison for these mechanical antiques to function properly and run accurately, but when we're done with your great-grandfather's watch it can be passed on to future generations for them to enjoy and marvel at its intricacies.
Every antique pocket watch in this video was sent here by someone who wanted part of their valuable collection or irreplaceable family keepsake restored as close as practicable back to the day that it left the factory - and you can have yours running great again, too.
Imagine owning a mechanical work of art from an earlier century to tell the time, filled with tiny gears and moving parts, ticking in your pocket like a heartbeat. Many of the watches that we offer date to the 1800s and will be running long after your new cell phone gets buried in a landfill.
Every vintage pocket watch featured in our Store has been completely restored back to original specs, meaning that all of its components are factory correct. Most of them are original combinations, still intact from the day that their very first owners purchased them.
People dropped their watches all the time (and still do), so tether your valuable heirlooms and daily carry pieces with one of our braided leather straps or paracord lanyards to avoid high repair bills.
We also offer many different kinds of storage chests, custom pieces and display stands for your pocket watches when you're not carrying them and want to show them off or store them safely.
