Father time watch and clock repair

Father Time Watch and Clock Repair is a one-person independent shop run by watchmaker Darr Anderson, working out of Southeast Portland. The focus here is full service and overhaul work alongside vintage watch repair, the kind of job that involves taking a movement apart, cleaning it, replacing worn parts and putting it back together rather than just a quick battery swap.

Because there's an on-site watchmaker, work can often be assessed and discussed in person rather than being shipped off to a third party. That matters for vintage pieces especially, where condition and parts availability need a hands-on look before a repair can even be quoted.

The shop keeps a consistent schedule, open from noon to 6pm every day except Monday, which makes it easier to plan a drop-off around a lunch break or weekend errand. No pricing or turnaround information is published, so anyone with a specific watch in mind should call or email ahead to find out what a service or repair is likely to cost and how long the watchmaker expects to need it.

This is a good option for owners of older or mechanical watches looking for someone who will actually open up the movement, rather than a counter service that only handles batteries and straps. Collectors with family heirlooms or vintage finds that need real servicing, not just cosmetic attention, are the kind of customer this shop seems built for.
