Some of my clock repair clients prefer to have their end user customers purchase the movements themselves and then pay the repair person to install. We are pleased to be able to provide that service for Kieninger movements. Just have the customer use your name as a referral. We only ask that payment be made by Zelle or bank check.

🌍 BIG NEWS for our international customers! 🎉

Butterworth Clocks has renegotiated our FedEx international shipping rates — and the savings are SIGNIFICANT!

Example: we just shipped our popular TimeTrax beat counter to Australia for just $40 — and that includes brokerage fees! 📦✈️

On average, FedEx International Priority (brokerage fees included) runs around $40 for packages up to 2 lbs

Please reach out and we'll give you an accurate quote based on your location and package dimensions. No surprises.

⚡ We ship same day or next business day, depending on when your order is placed

Cuckoo movements-Fair warning
We just received a shipment of the R25 one day 19.1cm units. After sending out back orders we have only 24 pieces of those left.
The factory has been not communicating at all. We have 500 on order but no idea when they will actually come. Plan ahead. Order online or by phone or [email protected]

If you are not using our Emergency oil from Dr. Tillwich, then you are missing out. It gives the 20+ year old clock the best chance of getting the gummy oil loosened up and add time to the movment before a serious overhaul or replacement is required. Our 4ml oiler is only $20 each and a $10 mailing. We get regular feedback on how wonderful this product is and it is made by the same firm that makes the 859 oil used in all the German clocks.
Below is just one example from today :

Also ordered more Emergency oil – I’ve been having very good success with that on old dried up movements.

Best,

Geoff

to our loyal customers, we are happy to announce that we don’t have the ability to take electronic checks. All we need is the routing number and account number of the check. This will reduce the cost of credit cards and as a result, we are offering a flat $15 shipping on all items from the Butterworth warehouse paid for by electronic check.
