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.

Hi, George,
The clock is ticking along just fine. It has run a full 8 days without stopping
and is keeping good time.
Thanks for following up.
