| Before
& After
On this page are just a few
examples of the many dials I have restored to date. Where ever
possible I strive to use traditional techniques and materials to
give a truly authentic finish.
Before any work is started on a
dial, it is photographed and an accurate tracing is made of the
numbering and any artwork so that everything is put back exactly
where it was originally. All numbering, lettering and trademarks
are hand drawn, no modern transfers are used. The dial is also
examined under magnification and ultra violet light to find any
missing details which may no longer be visible to the naked eye.
Whether it is the grandest of
long case clock dials, or the most humble of mantle clock, they
are all treated exactly the same.
