He really know his stuff very well. He had our grandfather clock working in an hour. Came at night because we both work. I would higher recommend him. I had a question and called him and he told me exactly what to do.
I have trusted Bill with some very of my very sentimental time pieces. Some over 100 years old. His quality work on most time pieces is meticulous and accurate. He’s honest and trust worthy. His prices are fair considering the amount of work that is needed to work on a time piece. It’s not often you find someone with this type of integrity.
We purchased a used Trend Grandfather clock recently and wanted to ensure that it was in fine working order. We contacted Bill at Kew Gardens Jewelers and requested service. He responded quickly with a house call on the second day. He is very professional, personable, efficient and competant. Our clock maintenance was performed with precision and speed.We also had the Quartz Movement replaced on a vintage Welby Schoolhouse Wall clock that is over 50 years old.He is reasonably priced and we will definitely use Kew Gardens Jewelers in the future.
We purchased an antique Grandfather clock and wanted to be sure it was running efficiently.We can not be more please with the work performed by Bill at Kew Gardens Jeweler.Bill was professional, timely, thorough and friendly.We can not imagine going anywhere else to maintain and/or repair our timepieces.All at very reasonable prices.
Great service. Very friendly. Many neighbors use them for their prized clocks. Bill Bachmann did a great job restoring the grandfather clock to perfect working order. He gave great advice too. Thanks to him.
Thank you Bill, you took care of my grandfather clock, and we are very happy with your expertise and professionalism on repair work!! Everything is working perfectly! Would highly recommend him to family & friends !!!
Bill is very reliable and knowledgeable and did a great job in servicing my grandfather clock. He was punctual for the appointment and answered all my questions. I found Kew Gardens Jewelers online doing a google search for grandfather clock servicing and was very satisfied with the service provided. I highly recommend him.
I called Bill to repair our Grand father Clock. He showed On time, His Price Very Reasonable, Provided Exceptional service and explained clearly what work was needed. He was Willing to answer any and all questions in ref to how to maintain clock in working order. I don think you could find a better service or price anywhere.
After building a clock over 45 years ago, it finally needed servicing and some repairs. I contacted Bill, from Kew Gardens, and discussed the clocks issues. He estimated the repairs which is hard to do over the phone, but he did.He showed up at my home at the appointed time, assessed the clocks needs and proceed to repair it. About an hour lated, the clock was working like New. I was very happy with Bills knowledge of clocks and his professionalism. That is hard to find today. The job was completed as quoted, and I was thrilled with his work. Oh, Yes I would use him again.
I am so happy to hear my 25 year old clock ring the right hour and chime again. Bill is very conscientious and explained every thing in detail and it was not as pricy as I was afraid it would be. It took around an hour and it was fixed!I recommended him to my nephew who has my mothers grandfathers clock that is not working.Thank you Bill, glad youre still around ! :)
My 50 year old clock had not been properly cared for, sad to say. Bill took it to his shop and got it back in shape. He answered all my questions. I will be calling him periodically to oil and maintain it. So glad I found him; he was referred by a new friend.
Great service and was able to get our grandfather clock up and running again. Very professional.
Kew Gardens Jewelers, Ive known for years. I inherited this clock from my parents. I have much love. He has serviced my clock for about 25 years. After years, it needed wood refinished. Owner: Bill Bachman recommended furniture refinisher to update my clocks beauty. I highly recommend Bill Bachman of Kew Gardens Jewelers..
Bill is friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. I called about my Grandfathers grandfather clock (which turned out to be a grandmothers clock) which had been sitting for six years without running after my Grandfather passed away. My dad transported it from Nebraska to South Florida due to sentimental value. Bill came over on the same day, looked at it, taught me the history of the clock, how to take care of it, and even showed me how to set the lunar calendar. Price was much cheaper than other stores and the quality of the repair, and lessons imparted, were brilliant. 10/10 would recommend. - Jerolds son.
Our Grandfather clock had been seating for many years, looking pretty but not working! Mr. Bachmann gave us wonderful service and now we have this beautiful piece of history in perfect condition. Great craftsmanship!
Had a cuckoo clock in need of repair. Was lucky with my choice on google. Bill lives near me and repaired the clock very reasonably in my book. I Lived in NY before relocating to Fla. and always have paid high prices for any repairs, big or small. Clock is hung and running beautifully. Thank You Bill for a job well done. 👍😎
I would highly recommend Bill @Kew Gardens Jewelers. He is a true gentleman, and provides GREAT service. Approximately seven years ago we purchased a Ridgeway Grandfather clock from another vendor, who serviced the clock regularly. Recently we had an issue with the clock, and after trying, unsuccessfully, for several months to contact the previous technician I found Bill @Kew Gardens Jewelers via an internet search. Not only did Bill come to my house to diagnose the issue, he ordered the necessary parts and fixed the problem for a very reasonable cost. Now our beautiful clock runs beautifully once again.THANK YOU, Bill.
We have a Ridgeway Grandfather clock for close to 20 years, and has given us years of joy. We needed it serviced but was not happy with previous clock repair technicians. We called Bill of Kew Gardens clock repairs, who came out promptly, removed the clocks working parts, brought it back to his shop, cleaned and adjusted the clock and reinstalled it. The sweet sounds of the chimes once again fills our house. He is not only very knowledgeable about clocks but you can see his passion in this trade which is very rare these days.I would recommend him highly.
We highly recommend Bill for your clock repairs. He was very nice,kind, and so careful with my Howard Miller clock. He not only did the repair but cleaned it and has it running perfectly. He was amazing. He can be trusted with all your repairs.
I picked up my Waterbury mantle clock from Bill yesterday and the chime actually sounds better than before. He did a complete cleaning job. The clock is probably a hundred years old and sounds better than ever. He has repaired other clocks for me and all are doing well.He is a master of his art.
Bill was amazing! He was very pleasant, professional, punctual and precise. He brought my beautiful German clock back to life again after travelling from residence to residence. Im forever grateful for his wonderful service.I highly commend and recommend Kew Garden Jewelers for all clock repairs. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I located Kew Gardens simply by doing a Google search for clock repair. Bill came to me a few days later, and within a few minutes he had the Howard Miller Grandfather Clock chiming on time. He also provided so much information on the clock, a diagram of the inside of the clock to keep, and don’t get me started on his very organized tool/parts box with everything labeled! He then looked at my Howard Miller table clock and took it with him for quite a bit of work to be done. He did get it to chime a couple of times which almost brought tears to my eyes. I look forward to getting it back. I would definitely recommend Kew Gardens for clock repair. These two clocks are very special to me and Bill was definitely the person to do the repair. Give him a call, you won’t be disappointed.
We highly recommend Bill for any of your clock needs. We have used him for years to service our over 100 year old grandfather clock! He is highly knowledgeable in all clocks, very professional, and prompt for his appointments. He is honest and kind and cares about his work. Thanks again, Bill!
I found Bill Bachman of Kew Gardens Jewelers after searching authorized Howard Miller clock repairs. I couldnt be happier with his craftsmanship & business style. My clock was given to me as a gift by my cousins last year after my dear Uncle & G-dfather passed away at 93 years old. My Uncle was the brother of my Dad who passed away at 54 when I was just 24 years old. When the clock first made it into my house and I heard it chime I was reminded of both my Uncle and my Dad. I was disheartened when the chimes stopped working. Bill described the battery problem by phone diagnosed corrosion, etc. and offered to assist. After I brought the clock to Bill he offered two means to repair movement at two cost scenarios and was super helpful, informative and kind. Clock was repaired perfectly. When I heard it chime again I immediately thought of my Dad & Uncle. When daylight savings occurred (a short few days later) Bill was immediately available to help with an answer on winding forward. I highly recommend Bill to anyone needing his services and thank you Bill for helping my Howard Miller clock continue to chime. Father time marches on!
Very rarely do you come across a gentleman so kind and passionate about a traditional craftmanship such as clockwork. Mr. Bill was not only an expert at his work, but also an educator and advocate for it as well. He took time to teach us about clocks and how to maintain our grandfather clock to keep it at its maximum potential. We are very thankful for his genuine character and hard-work. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services.
Bill repaired our Grandfather clock, and his service was excellent. A part was lost while moving and he helped us find the part and ordered it for us. His price was extremely fair
Bill did a wonderful job! He was very accommodating with scheduling us bringing our clock for repair. He then fixed the clock while I waited for a VERY fair price. I’ll take the clock back for cleaning and any other needs I might have.
Bill Bachmann came to our house to set-up a grandfather clock that we received as a present. Bill is one of the nicest people we ever met and his professionalism and knowledge are truly amazing. He started by opening the big carton box that the clock was shipped in, he removed it from the box and gave advise for the best place to set it at. Then he methodically started removing all the packing materials that kept delicate parts from moving during shipping and at every step of the way he provided an explanation about the mechanism, the sound generation, the night-day settings etc. which was a truly interesting learning experience. He patiently answered all our questions and was happy to make any final adjustments that we asked for pertaining to balancing the clock, set the right time (this is a mechanical clock so it is not obvious how to set AM and PM), adjust the weights at slightly different height to give some interest, set up the moon phases and much more, truly an amazing experience for us. The clock looks beautiful in our living room and we are grateful to Bill for his help and we highly recommend him for any clock related work whether be set up, repair etc. We will definitely have Bill back when the clock is due for its periodic maintenance.
Bill did a great job repairing my time cracker clock. He was friendly, called with an estimate, and completed the work in a timely manner. Would definitely use Bill again.
This is the first time I have used Kew Gardens Jewelers. The owner, Bill, was very professional. He serviced my Ridgeway Grandfather Clock (which hasnt been serviced in 5 years) and was very clean and neat about the entire process. I highly recommend him and his service. I will continue to call upon him. So pleased to have found someone who knows his clock business.
For years my dad [a retired Pratt & Whitney design engineer] maintained the family clock he passed down to me. An invalid in his 90s, hes no longer able to be my clock man. There was no one in the area of Georgia where I lived until a few months ago.My husbands birthday present to me was to get the clock running again. How pleased I am to say that our internet search found Kew Gardens Jewelers. The part time staff of one is knowledgeable, polite, interesting, fair, and trustworthy.Thank you, Bill. You have another very satisfied, permanent customer.
I needed to repair my grandfather clock and found Bills ad on line.He was very professional and knowledgeable and even gave me a few tips on how to take better care of my clock in the future. I would highly recommend Bills services at Kew Gardens Jeweler.Annie B.
Bill at Kew Gardens Jewelers is very knowledgeable and honest. He repaired several clocks for me that had not worked in years. I am very happy with his work and is fair prices.
I have had Bill out to my home twice for two different grandfather clocks and I cant tell you how smoothly the entire process was. Return calls, arrived when he said he would, diagnosis quick, fee surprisingly low for what I got. Highly Recommend.
It was wonderful to find someone who was so knowledgeable and professional to work on our grandfather clock.
Bill is a hidden gem of the grandfather clock repairAmazing professionalMy wife and i so glad to find himJoe Cosme
It’s clear that you take great pride in your work and taking care of your clients’ needs in a professional and honest manner doing a high quality job. Unfortunately these qualities did not stay ingrained in your son John who essentially ripped me and my family off for $25,000 and destroyed my home in the process. He takes no responsibility for his actions nor did he plan to rectify his blatantly gross negligence in ruining my home and causing us great anxiety. FYI I am the son of Dr. Neil Katz, brother of Jonathan. Never in a million years did I expect this would happen.Dear Sir. I initially did this to get your attention with a 5 star Review. My father talked very fondly of you and couldn’t understand how your son could do this abhorrent job to a “family friend”. I am sure that you do excellent work and did so in the past for my father. I was honestly just hoping that you could talk some sense into your son after he made a disaster of my home before I have to go after him in the courts. It’s unfortunate that he didn’t inherit your work ethic and moral character as a human being and businessman. Be well.
Bill has been taking care of my grandfather clock since I moved to South Florida in2005 and does a great job.I couldn’t be more satisfied.He comes to our house at our convenience and is not only competent but a real gentleman too. I recommend his service.
I have used Kew Gardens Jewelers for many years. I came upon this company when I needed an antique clock that belonged to my grandfather repaired. Since then, I have had BIll clean periodically clean the clock as well as my watches. He does a great job at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend his services.
Bill was extremely professional, reasonably priced, and quick to repair my clock. Very happy and will definitely recommend to my friends!
Wonderful expert for our Howard Miller clock! He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him!!
So pleased that Bill was able to perfectly repair not one but 2 clocks of great sentimental value to me - my grandmothers mantel clock and my mother-in-laws mantel clock:) Thank you very much, Bill!
Bill was great and did exactly as promised. I highly recommend him!
I have a very old Japanese regulator that periodically needs a tune up. I was in a fever to find someone reliable and competent after moving here from NY 6 years ago.I have been delighted to find Bill at Kew Gardens Jewelers. He has service my clock at least 4 or 5 times. Unfortunately, the most recent service indicated that the poor old thing was just worn out, and even Bill couldnt fix it. He helped me by replacing the movement with a battery-operated one. While I miss that dear old tick tock, the clock works perfectly, and I am satisfied that nobody else could have done a better job.My only regret is I probably wont need to see Bill again.marilyn shapiro
Highly recommended. If you want to trust your item to an experienced craftsman who cares for his customer, your clock, and his craft - this is the place! Thank you, Bill!
We purchased a Grandfather Clock, was having trouble keeping time, made a call...Bill came over the next day, his knowledge was outstanding, looked over a table clock, gave us the ins & outs of that clock also.Our Grandfather Clock is working great !!Thanks Bill 😋
Excellent Service and very fair prices. He really knows what he is doing!
