Clock Restoration and Bespoke Clock Making

Tommy Jobson: A Master of Musical Clocks

I recently entrusted Tommy with shall I say a "challenging" clock restoration/completion project. An unfinished home built musical clock, it was in desperate need of expert attention to the clock mechanism, overall aesthetic and more importantly the musical side needed completing. Despite the complexity of the task, Tommy's skill and precision were exceptional. He successfully restored/repaired the clock and he also expertly arranged and pinned four pieces of music onto the musical barrel. This level of expertise I knew would be very difficult to find, but when I contacted Tommy he was very enthusiastic about the whole project. The final result was truly remarkable and exceeded all my expectations! My clock can now play a selection four tunes, each beautifully and expertly arranged and programmed into the musical barrel. Tommy's attention to detail and commitment to excellence are evident in every aspect of his work. I wholeheartedly recommend Horologium Precision LTD to anyone seeking a skilled and reliable clock repairer, especially for those with intricate musical clocks.

“Thank you so much for a wonderful job on our much loved long case clock. With the virus and one thing and another it has been a while but well worth the wait! I wish you all the best for the future and again thank you for the “beating heart” of our home!”

“It was a pleasure to have my clock repaired by Tommy at Horologium Precision. I was kept informed about the work required, and my grandfather clock is now working perfectly.”

Sarah Jones

“An extremely competent and very skilled craftsman who repairs clocks properly. A simple "country" longcase clock was badly worn and never ran as accurately as it does now. From the moment you wind the weights you can feel that everything is as it should be. I have now embarked on a rolling restoration of the rest. The highest quality work at country prices. Highly recommended.”

“Tommy has given me excellent service with both my pocket and wristwatch. My Victorian pocket watch hadn’t been serviced for many years; Tommy gave it an excellent service and it now runs superbly, telling accurate time. Not bad for a 180-year-old watch! He also gave the same care and attention to my wristwatch. He is polite and extremely talented. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough..”

“We recently had an early 19th-century watch repaired at the workshop. This included repairing the enamel dial which had become extensively cracked and bent. The watch is now working well and has also had the hands replaced with elegant gold ones. Because of the various stages required in the repair, the work took a little longer than originally predicted. However the workmanship was first class and although the full extent of the work could not be fully determined at the outset because of the age of the watch, the final cost was as set out in the original estimate. We are very pleased with the result. Nowadays there are very few places left that would be able to undertake this type of work.”

“I saw Tommys work on Youtube and liked the thorough, detailed, and professional approach to his work. This is the guy to do my repair work; I needed a new escapement wheel for a mid 19th Century bracket clock and Tommy lived up to the expectations by making a precise wheel and anchor escapement for me. Extremely happy to have worked with him. Such quality comes at a price; he is not a fast turnaround shop but the result is worth waiting for..”

“Tommy was asked to undertake a complex job on a very complex mechanism, he thoroughly researched the question area and came up with an excellent solution which was implemented in a very professional manner. Further to that, the work was done in a very timely manner all with very clear communication. I highly recommend Tommy as more than capable in all areas of horology.”

“I recently had my Grandfather clock restored by Horologium Precision (Tommy Jobson). It was a major overhaul for Tommy to work on with many parts having to be handmade. The clock had never chimed in my lifetime from when I first saw it in my grandparents' home till the day it left my home to go away for restoration... I'm now 66. The face was so worn away and tired and with most of the numerals unrecognisable and the makers’ name had all but disappeared. The case had a complete overhaul too. The transformation was absolutely remarkable. I was speechless and in awe of Tommy’s workmanship..... a true craftsman. My clocks age is completely unspoilt but all in perfect working order. And it chimes.... beautifully.....and keeps very good time.”
