PETER SCHOFIELD CLOCK SPECIALIST

As a young lad waiting for the school bus, I can remember standing in the grey and gloomy Lancashire drizzle, gazing into the window of the Clockmaker's shop: I was fascinated. I found myself  dreaming that the rain would stop and that I would one day learn how to repair clocks. 

​

As luck would have it, a few years later, when I was serving as an aircraft engineer serving on several ships as part of a small team maintaining Lynx mk3 and mk8 in the Royal Navy based out of RNAS Yeovilton I met a clockmaker's daughter, her  father taught me the trade over several years while I was working as a defence contractor initially on Seaking Mk4 commando Helicopter desert recovery and then after a few years on RAF Search and Rescue Helicopter depth maintenance.

 

I have been examined by the BHI (British Horological Institute) 

​

In my early thirties I went about setting up my own workshop in Honiton. In November 2023, I made the decision to move to a bigger, purpose built workshop in Dulverton. I can service anything from  tiniest carriage clock to the most imposing grandfather. I will lovingly breathe new life into your treasured timepiece whether it has been forgotten about for many years  or has just stopped working. If your clock is in need of more than just a service, I can sympathetically fabricate parts to keep the historical value of the clock intact. In addition, I can offer case and cabinet repair and restoration, a dial restore service and a glass replacement service.  

​

So here I find myself, looking out over beautiful Exmoor, doing the work that I love. It's funny how life works out, isn't it?
