Like many things, all clocks including grandfather clocks and cuckoo clocks are prone to wear and tear from use. The fact of the matter is that time doesn’t stop, but sometimes your clock does. No matter how well-crafted, clock movement parts, especially those in more antique models, benefit greatly from regular maintenance. According to the antique clock repair technicians at Mason, OH’s Tic-Toc Shop, there are numerous advantages to a regular regimen of cleaning and up keep.

Why opt for a clock tune-up? Here are a few reasons:

• Preventative Maintenance: Essential to the function of the clock is a delicate complex moving gears and parts, all prone to being damaged. One advantage of having regular work done on a clock is that the repairperson will be able to root out problems before they stop functionality completely.
• Economical: Part in parcel with a good regimen of maintenance is that regular maintenance will keep the existing parts in working order. Replacing a delicate but essential piece of a clock that was built 100 years ago is not a cheap thing, and it makes much more sense to repair the piece, if possible.
• Exterior Restoration: In addition to making sure everything is “ticking” inside, maintenance will also include cleaning and restoration of the outside. Scratches will be treated and the clock will look as good as the day it was made.
