About
Report
Boyd Clocks was started in Tampa in 1944 by David Boyd, Sr. Mr. Boyd's reputation as a master clockmaker was respected nationally. He repaired and restored clocks until his passing in 2015 at the age of 86. He is succeeded by his son, David, who is also a master clockmaker and has been working on clocks for almost 40 years.

Report
The clock was acquired at the NAWCC Southeastern Regional event in Lakeland in 2018. It may be described as a "Frieseland Kortstaartklok met Automata", a 30 hour clock made in the Netherlands. The movement is stamped "1819" and this is presumed to be the date of manufacture. The initials "P K" accompany the presumed date and likewise are assumed to be the initials of the maker.
Service and Repairs
Report
Clocks are the only appliance in the home that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year. An eight-day clock in the course of 20 years ticks 630 million times and the springs or weights are wound 1,000 times. Any mechanical device that runs that much is going to need service every three to five years to keep it going.
Restoration
Report
Brass cases and bases are completely disassembled. The old lacquer is removed. Each part is cleaned, tumbled, polished and re-lacquered with Nikolas Lacquer, one of the finest in the industry. Wood cases are refinished by an experienced cabinetmaker and finisher who specializes in antique restoration.
