I love very old mechanical watches and often find them but with issues. The first place I call is Time and Chime. It is obvious that Michael is a master of his craft. He never lets me down and often amazes me with his work. I recently took in a Waltham a pocket watch from 1902. He took great care to bring it back to it’s former glory. He will give you sound advice about whether it is “worth it” to complete the repair. Michael has serviced over 7 watches for me and I am never disappointed. In the Pittsburgh area, and maybe the USA, I believe he is the best!

Michael did an amazing job repairing my grandfather's old railroad watch, cleaned it up got it working again polished even made some custom parts to fix everything. Runs perfectly now, just in time for me to get it back to my Dad for Father's Day. Thanks so much, you are an incredible craftsman. Pics attached are two after it was repaired and one from before any work was done.

I was very pleased with my experience. Michael was easy to work with and gave honest answers to all my questions. I especially appreciated how promptly he took care of my pocket watch repairs. His prices are fair for the work involved. I highly recommend this business and wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future.

I have been taking my time pieces to Michael for over 5 years, and he has never disappointed. Time and Chime has repaired and serviced 10 different time pieces of mine in that time. From an antique mantel clock ~100 years old, heirloom pocket watches made by my great grandfather, many ETA movement automatics, a couple Omega Speedmasters, and two Rolex wrist watches (one was my father's). There is very little Michael can't fix or service, and if he can't, he'll tell you for free. His services are very affordable and the turn around is very fast; a couple weeks at most has been my experience (he needed to wait for parts from Omega). I would recommend Time and Chime to anyone, and choose to have my time pieces serviced by Michael over the major Jewlers in the area; even the ones with in house watch smiths. Pittsburgh is very lucky to have craftsmen like Michael as a resident.

Website was very helpful.

Michael was fantastic - fast service, high quality work, reasonable prices.

Michael was friendly, courteous, and set reasonable expectations. He was professional and it shows in his work. My 1883 Private Label Hampden Model 3 is running as smoothly as it did 140 years ago. I’m more Than satisfied and will be using his services as I grow my collection of pocket watches. Thank you, Michael!
