🪛 How Long Should a Clock Last?
Here's something that might surprise you: a well-made mechanical clock, properly serviced, can last HUNDREDS of years.
Many of the antique clocks we restore at Aubrey's are 100–200 years old — and after a proper service, they run beautifully.
The key word? SERVICED.
Here's a simple maintenance schedule:
• Every 3–5 years: Full cleaning and oiling of the movement
• Every 10 years: Check for worn parts and springs
• After any fall or impact: Immediate inspection
• If the clock sounds different: Don't wait — bring it in
Neglect is the #1 reason clocks fail prematurely. The good news is that with proper care, your clock can become a true family heirloom — passed down for generations.
