Frank van Nuus studied to become a watchmaker and jeweler at “Vakschool Schoonhoven” and specialized in restoring mechanical, antique timepieces. In 1993 he opened his beautiful shop with studio on the Zuid-Willemsvaart in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. By accurate restoring and documenting many special clocks, he expanded his knowledge and skills enormously. He is completely familiar with the fine mechanics of a timepiece. “What appears to be a large and bulky timepiece, is in fact so ingeniously manufactured that it requires precision to work to within 500th of a millimetre,” says Frank van Nuus. “And that is exactly what makes me feel comfortable.”

Restoration is craftsmanship, dedication and patience. With accurate measuring tools, knowledge and skills, Frank van Nuus restores high-quality timepieces of Amsterdam longcase clocks, chimes clocks and Cercles Tournant pendulum clocks. Parts are polished and gold-plated with the greatest precision. Worn and missing parts are replaced exactly. Frank van Nuus works exclusively with old alloys and materials. He restores your valuable timepiece to the way it was originally made. You then have a timepiece that will retain its value and run trouble-free for years to come.
