The service involves a horologist or clock technician traveling to a client’s residence to provide maintenance, repair, or restoration services for a specific type of timekeeping device. For example, instead of transporting a large, delicate timepiece, a professional comes to the owner’s home to address issues such as timing inaccuracies, mechanical malfunctions, or aesthetic damage.
This approach offers significant advantages, primarily minimizing the risk of damage associated with moving a substantial and often antique item. The convenience of on-site service also saves the owner time and effort. Historically, this type of personalized attention was common, particularly when timekeeping devices were significant investments and essential household fixtures. The specialized knowledge required for these complex mechanisms makes professional, in-home service a valuable offering.
