With over a decade of performing clock repair, TickTockTony has the expertise required to ensure that your clock gets the attention it needs. This antique is a fine quality long case clock by Henry Daniel of London. It is an eight-day anchor escapement movement and strikes the hour on an English bell.
The clock has a silvered dial that has a strike silent leaver in the arch and blued steel hands. The case is flame mahogany with a break arch hood. The three finials are set on blocks with a scalloped separator. Antique clocks are not just pieces of furniture or timepieces; they are a sound investment, a piece of history, a work of art, and a very old antique.

Both weights and springs provide the power necessary to drive a clock. In general, weights provide an even pull throughout the entire period, whereas springs provide less power towards the end of its wind. To help compensate for the diminishing power, a Fusee clock evens out the power of a clock spring throughout the entire period.

This giant clock is one of London 's best-known landmarks and looks most spectacular at night when the clock faces are illuminated. You even know when parliament is in session, because a light shines above the clock face. The four dials of the clock are 23 feet square, the minute hand is 14 feet long, and the figures are 2 feet high.

For every 15 degrees that one travels eastward, the local time moves one hour ahead. Similarly, traveling West, the local time moves back one hour for every 15° of longitude. Therefore, if we know the local times at two points on Earth, we can use the difference between them to calculate how far apart those places are in longitude, east or west.

Several people took the time to thank me for my article on John Harrison, so I thought we would look a little further at the Longitude Problem and the measurement of time itself. Longitude is the old school British spelling of longitude and as I was taught using it, I prefer it. Let's recap for a moment for our new readers: In order to calculate their longitude, sailors had to measure the local time, wherever they were, by observing the Sun.

Tony was very professional and knowledgeable. Our clock was not keeping wound and the chime mechanism wasn't working or chiming. He found two problems with the clock and solved both on the spot. We were able to take clock back home after problems solved. Clock is now working great. Thank you, Tony!!!!! So glad we found you.

We are thrilled with our purchase of the Grandfather Clock from Tick Tock Tony!!
A particular clock caught my eye and, without living in California, my wife and I decided to purchase based solely upon photographs on Tony's website. Not only did he aswer many questions thoroughly, he gave an inviatation to visit his home if we needed to prior to purchase! What confidence is gained by such an honest offer! Our clock arrived and surpassed our expectations. It is an exquisite piece and has been perfectly restored. A local antiques professional was recently at our home and commented "I have never seen

Tick Tock Tony is AWESOME!
I just moved houses and my grandfather clock was not happy with the transition. I owned my Sligh grandfather's clock for 30 years and loved the noises it made......tic toc and chimes. The new house was NOT a home with out the tic toc......chimes.
Tony's wife Linda was so responsive and confirmed the appointment and Tony arrived right on time.
Lucky for me, it was an easy fix and Tony was done within a half an hour! He even trained me on a couple things that I did not know about my clock!
Many thanks to Linda and Tony for GREAT knowledge, expertise and service with
