Aubrey’s Clock Gallery

I went there for some Christmas shopping. The owner was so nice and pleasant. They have some unique clocks, music boxes and globes to choose from. Not a large selection but if you are looking for unique gifts, there is a nice selection. I can’t compare for prices but there was a range so you can select one that fits your budget.

Wouldn’t use him again. He was good about calling and trying to come into the home to take a look at grandmother clock, but once he arrived, he was rushed, and basically got the clock running again but dismissed my concerns for the minute and hour hands. He was quick to take my payment and was out of the house in less than 10 minutes. I loom at him as just a guy looking to make a quick buck.

Great service. Aubrey is honest and precise in his estimates, and service. I will continue to keep using this wonderful clock repair service. I may even decide to purchase one of the many antique clocks on display.

I took in a 100 year old mantle clock that simply needed a spring installed. I even provided the spring (a 3 inch piece of steel wire).
Regrettably, I was told that he did not do simple repairs. Only full restorations.
He said something about not wanting to get in trouble… although I don’t see how that would have happened.
I’m disappointed. This shop does not fill my needs!

I took a 1990 Swiss made watch here for a battery change. The service was quick. She charged me $ 21.90, paid in cash, and wasn’t given a receipt. I left the shop but had to return 30 mins later because the watch was still not working. She proceeded to tell me that I was missing parts and would likely need to get the watch serviced at an estimated cost of over $ 200! I told her I would think about it and took my watch to another shop for a second opinion. Turns out she incorrectly placed the battery and there were no missing parts to it at all! My watch now works thanks to the second watch shop for the cost of a simple battery change. Seems a little fishy… would not recommend due to lack of knowledge on higher end watches or just plain shadiness.

Went to get my watch battery replaced, it cost 14 $ for the replacements by the way.
The people there are very friendly and very eager to help you.
Some of the things on display are also on sale.

I took my watch for repair, and it now works fabulously. Aside from that, the owner is so nice and personable. He has a long history in the community, and has such interesting stories to share. Glad to have a great watch repair store in town!

I have shopped at Aubrey’s in the past and always had great experiences. After getting fantastic customer service again today, I felt the need to share.
They are always prompt, polite, and courteous. I went in for a battery replacement today, was greeted immediately. The service itself only took a few minutes, much faster than most places I’ve gone for battery replacement.
They’ve certainly gained a lifelong customer today.

I brought in an old Fossil watch (circa 1992) I had come across while cleaning out my jewelry drawer and thought I could re-​invent it with a cool new strap. Unfortunately, a new battery didn’t bring it back to life. I took it to all the local Jewelers who told me that they wouldn’t be able to repair it. I even called Fossil in attempts to find the parts for it. Finally as a last ditch effort I took it to Aubrey’s and he was able to replace the movement for minimal cost and it now works like it was new.
Based on my experience with my watch I brought in an expensive Ethan Allen wall clock that was just out of warranty to also have the movement replaced. Aubrey’s replaced the movement and the clock is back working, although keeping time slowly on occasion, but the quality of their work doesn’t seem to be quite what I had hoped for such an expensive piece of basically what is furniture for my wall. From the front it looks ok, but take it down and flip it over and it definitely has a «tinkered with» look to it now. If it was a cheaper clock I probably wouldn’t have minded.

I feel so bad for these folks, I never see anybody inside and thought I’d throw them some business before having dinner. It has a quaint mom and pop feel though it isn’t really for everybody. They have low quality watches but high quality clocks for purchase and they can repair most any of them as well. I paid $ 16 for a watch battery to be replaced and installed, not too bad.

This is a great place if you are looking for a timepiece — more than just a clock, but something that makes a statement. The owner is very well versed in the products he carries and is more than happy to take the time to show you the differences between a quartz clock and a mechanical.
They carry many choices — some new, some used and are willing to match internet prices, which is something I didn’t expect from a place like this (Gilman village is a very nice, boutique kind of place that seems to value quality and selection over price).
I was thrilled to find an older mantle clock with a brand new mechanism. I really like the resonance of a real chime vs. even the best of the electrical reproductions and this one will be on our mantle for years to come.
(They also replace batteries and do repairs. I can sympathize when someone feels like it takes a long time but my personal experience with mechanical watches is that repairs often require waiting on parts to be shipped and that can take a while).
I felt the service was great for the kind of shop they have — it’s not all over you, asking you if they can help you find anything every 2 minutes but the kind of deep knowledge and willingness to share their information and experience with those who are really serious about clocks.

Just don’t bring your watch in for a repair. 5 weeks is a bit much. Rude too.

If you like clocks — you will be in heaven!
