Roger Gordon Clockmakers Limited

Roger Gordon Clockmakers Limited is a clock restoration specialist based in Cleveland, distinct from the watch-focused shops in this directory — the business works exclusively on clocks, not wristwatches or pocket watches. Known as "America's Clockmaker," the company has been operating for nearly 50 years and has built a national reputation for museum-quality restoration of historically significant timepieces. The shop's restoration work has included clocks from the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building, New Hampshire's Mount Washington Hotel, and Asheville's Grove Park Inn, reflecting a specialty in antique and antiquarian clocks rather than everyday timekeeping repair. Roger Gordon operates primarily as a mail-order clock repair center, with customers across the country shipping clocks to Cleveland for service. The shop provides guidance on packing pendulum clocks and grandfather clocks safely for transit, including removing weights, keys, and decorative pieces before shipping. One notable exception: the shop does not repair cuckoo clocks, and refers those jobs elsewhere. As the field of dedicated clockmakers has narrowed over recent decades — many jewelry stores once employed one directly — Roger Gordon has positioned itself as one of the country's larger dedicated clock repair operations. For owners of an antique mantle clock, wall clock, or grandfather clock in need of careful, specialist restoration, the shop offers decades of focused experience rather than the broader watch-and-jewelry mix found at many local stores.
