WITTON CLOCKS
BOB DICKINSON, (MEMBER OF THE BRITISH WATCH & CLOCKMAKERS GUILD) AT WITTON CLOCKS OFFERS A SYMPATHETIC REPAIR AND RESTORATION SERVICE FOR ALL ANTIQUE CLOCKS, AND ALWAYS HAS A SMALL SELECTION OF FINE CLOCKS FOR SALE. SITUATED IN THE
BEAUTIFUL YORKSHIRE DALES NATIONAL PARK.
THERE IS MORE TO THE RESTORATION OF A FINE ANTIQUE CLOCK THAN JUST REPAIRING THE FAULTS. IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO RETAIN THE CHARACTER AND ORIGINALITY OF SUCH CLOCKS AS MUCH AS IS POSSIBLE. THE REMOVAL OF WEAR AND TEAR, HAS TO BE TEMPERED WITH THE DESIRE TO LEAVE AS MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL IN TACT AS POSSIBLE, SO THE SYMPATHETIC REPAIRER MAY CHOOSE NOT TO "IMPROVE" A FAULT THAT IS CONSIDERED NOT TO AFFECT THE RUNNING OF THE CLOCK ADVERSLEY UNTIL THE NEXT SERVICE PERIOD, IN GENERAL ONE WOULD SUPPOSE AT LEAST 10 YEARS! THE WEAR APPARENT MAY HAVE TAKEN AT LEAST 100 YEARS TO HAVE REACHED ITS PRESENT STATE, SO A FEW MORE YEARS MAY NOT BE SIGNIFICANT, AND WHY REMOVE ORIGINAL MATERIAL IF IT IS NOT ABSOLUTLEY NECESSARY. RESTORATION IS A CONTINUING PROCESS WHICH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS NEVER ENDING, AND THE PRESERVATION OF THE ORIGINAL IS OF THE ESSENCE, WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF MAINTAINING A PIECE OF WORKING PERIOD MACHINERY. YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT EVERY EFORT WILL BE MADE TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CLOCK IS RESTORED, WITH THE UTMOST SYMPATHY, ENSURING THAT ORIGINALITY IS NOT COMPROMISED IN THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.
