American Timekeeper

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 restore as many of them as possible back to factory specs while still preserving the mileage they've accrued over a century of service. It takes better than a hundred close-tolerance parts working in unison for these antiques to function properly, 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.

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.

Watch Recasing

New replacements are finally available after scrappers have melted thousands of gold cases. These new display cases are made right here in America, produced to exacting tolerances using anodized billet 6061 aluminum, 360 brass stock, and mild steel in the 1890s railroad style with tall pendants and round bows.
