We specialize in making reproduction clock works. We work primarily with individuals to create tailor-made custom timepieces to commemorate weddings, anniversaries, and other important occasions. Our other clients include woodworkers, clockmakers, and craftsmen worldwide. Our standard products include movements for tall clocks, Massachusetts shelf clocks or banjo/patent time pieces, and bespoke regulators and skeleton clocks. Ask us about custom fabrication.
Lindow Rose Engine
The Lindow Rose Engine is a mid-sized machine that is loosely patterned off of traditional American machines meant to bring rose engine turning to a broader market by having a machine in the mid-price level. This allows anyone with a serious interest to be able to afford one. While the machine is beautiful in its own right, there is no attempt at beauty for beauty’s sake, making it a simple and practical machine. It is a medium-duty machine allowing it to be used for a wide array of work.
