Below is a free antique clocks and antique mechanical music research resource, filled primarily with antique clock history and antique clockmakers history. We are looking for contributors. If you have researched and written an antique clocks history- or mechanical music-related historical or informational article and are willing to share it with others, then we would be interested in hearing from you and the possibility of publishing it here. We can note your name with your article if you choose to contribute it to this reference library.

The antique clocks history articles below are listed in alphabetical order by subject. If you find errors or ommissions, please let us know and we'll do our best to correct them. Some antique clocks history articles, like those from Chelsea, Herschede, Lenzkirch, and Gustav Becker, also include serial-number tables to help you correctly date your clock. (the serial number is generally found on the back of the clock mechanism).

Finally, we have a section below that lists sources. Please note that

We do not sell any clock parts

We only sell whole antique clocks, but, in spite of noting this all over our site, we are continually contacted by folks who are seeking parts, books, etc. So that information is provided here to assist with your search. Please respect our time and call them about parts, not us!
