Who we are and what we do

You've found the home of American Timekeeper, the very best place for vintage pocket watch repair and restoration. These timepieces were an important part of the daily lives of all of our ancestors and it's our goal to preserve as many of them as possible. We believe in doing things right the first time during the careful preservation of our history, so we'll treat your watch like it was ours with a wide range of specialized restoration services for classic railroad watches and early verge fusees that you likely won't find anywhere else.

American Timekeeper is a contributor to the American Horology Archive.

Isn't It Time?

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 all the way back to the 1800s and will be running long after your plastic smartphone gets buried in a landfill.

Every vintage watch sold through the 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.

Customer Feedback

"This Waltham 21-jewel Vanguard is just one of the eight pocket watches that I sent to American Timekeeper. They all came back looking and running like new, with all the proper parts. It is hard to believe that these watches are well over 100 yrs old. It's a nice feeling to get your watch back knowing it has been properly taken care of by Eric. His craftsmanship really is the best." - - Jim Y, Wisconsin
