Hi, George, Just wanted to let you know that the clock runs perfectly. The first week
I had a small problem with the minute hand, but I fixed the problem. It kept hanging
up on the hour hand. I ran a test to see how long it would run on one full winding.
Result:17 days, Great job, Thanks. Kind regards.

Ma belle horloge vient de sonner midi, comme elle sonne régulièrement tous les quarts,
les demies et les heures depuis son séjour chez vous. J'ai attendu jusqu'à maintenant
pour vous remercier, l'expérience acquise auprès d'autres horlogers m'ayant déconseillé
la précipitation. Mon mari et moi sommes ravis d'entrendre un tic-tac net que nous avions
pratiquement oublié.

Cher Monsieur Royer,
Merci beaucoup pour votre expertise à remettre mon horloge
en état de fonctionner. Elle semble bien fonctionner pour le moment,
et c'est un plaisir de l'entendre à nouveau. Merci.

Hi George,
I am the guy who brought you a hundred-year old Waltham seven chime movement from Mexico
and I cannot tell you how happy I have been with your service.
You spotted the problem, not identified by two clock makers here, before I left your shop;
you fixed it in a week and bench tested the repair for three weeks.
Finally, you provided me with enough guidance so that I could set up the clock properly after I drove it home.
It has worked perfectly since then and we now feel our investment was worthwhile.
Thanks again.

Dear Georges,
I was able to trace the origin of the clock. The maker of the clock is Simon (Sijmen) Van Leeuven and the clock was built in 1704 or around that time; so 300 years old.
Thanks for repairing my treasure. Kind regards,
Rudolf Bom

It's wonderful to see our clocks all keeping time and running smoothly and chiming to beat the band. Sandy is just delighted and so am I. I appreciate very much your wonderful quality and your attention to detail. Thank you very much for being helpful to us.

Georges,
In 24 hours, you managed to diagnose - and then fix - what others had been tinkering with. for 24 months (and unsuccessfully at that!). Now I have a working clock - which according to some (and a few of its halmarks) date it to Paris, some 50 years after the French revolution! And after your first opportunity at repair and care, it keeps acurate time (in sync with the NRC!), chimes beautifully (and correctly) and gleams with your clean-up touches! Best of all, I was very impressed with your "follow-up" call to ensure everything was working - to MY satisfaction.
You are truly in the right line of business, with a passion and knowledge of rare, unique and antique clocks. resulting in customer satisfaction... "Time, and time - again!" Merci.

Thanks for following up.
