Now that I got your attention, a horologist can be a clockmaker.

I have a Howard Miller wall school clock that needs cleaning after two years.  It was given to me for 20 years service at Magnavox and is a very valuable clock with a solid walnut and mahogany case and a German brass movement with Westminster chimes.

My clockmaker retired and I can't find another in the Ft. Wayne area. I'm looking for an expert clockmaker who can clean and lube this clock.  A decent driving distance would be nice since the clock is delicate and I don't want to trust it to the uSPS, Fedx or UPS.

Found the answer. No need to help. thanks.

There is one here in Valparaiso Wayne. Would be happy to pass the info to you.

I have had my clock cleaned a couple of times but never asked for it.  Grin

I'd never heard of a horologist.

I thought it was one of these.


My mistake. 

Best of luck with your clock.

Howard Miller is in my neck of the woods, Zeeland Mich. Here is their phone number. Maybe they can give you a reputable horologist in your area to help you out. Or, maybe a road trip if they have person on site to clean and adjust?   616-772-9131.
