The goal for the in-house collection at The Clockworks is that all the clocks should be capable of operating, even if they are not run constantly. For this reason, we have a conservator-in-residence, Alex Jeffrey, who offers repair and conservation solutions not only for the in-house collection but for anyone needing sensitive, principled work on their clocks (whether electric or otherwise). Traditional methods and materials are used wherever possible and appropriate, following the approach outlined by the Institute of Conservation.
