Testimonials
"For their fiftieth wedding anniversary, I wanted to give my sister and her husband the most special and meaningful gift I could think of. The perfect thing would have been an anniversary clock which our brother had brought back from Germany for our parents' twenty fifth, but it had been many long years since it had run and I'd never been able to find anyone willing to work on it. "Too sensitive", "Not worth it," they said.
But Karyn understood the personal importance in this and took it on. Thanks to her, everyone in our family was part of the gift; precious ones no longer with us joined in; connected to the celebration through the story of the clock. Thank you, Karen."

"About 15 years ago, I was very fortunate to acquire a wonderful, antique grandfather clock at Delaney's Antique Clocks in West Townsend, MA. When I inquired of them who would be qualified to service the clock in Fairfield County, without hesitation they strongly recommended Karyn Critelli at Village Clock. Since that time Karyn has provided on going general servicing as well as a major overhaul of the clock about two years ago. She is a true professional who trained in Europe. I trust her advice and work. Apart from being tops technically, she is a person who cares about her work and her customers and their satisfaction."

"Karyn, We can't express enough just how appreciative we are of the excellent work you did on our Walter H. Durfee grandfather clock.
Your expertise, knowledge, workmanship and positive professionalism is evident in the performance of our clock. It is now a real showstopper!
We wouldn't trust any future repairs, it may require, to anyone but you!!! Thank you again."

"Karyn Critelli at the Village Clockmaker was able to make repairs to my 110 year old eight foot Westminster Chimes grandfather clock that other horologists were unable to do. This is a wonderful clock that is a family heirloom and it was distressing to not have it functioning perfectly. Karyn was able to step into the breach and restore the moon phase dial and the chimes to perfect working order. In addition, the clock face had deteriorated even though past attempts at restoration of it had be performed. Karyn brought the face back to life and it look beautiful. We now get daily enjoyment from having the clock back with us as a perfectly working member of our family. Thank you Karyn!"

"My husband and I have a rare, one-of-a-kind grandfather clock built in the late 1800s. Its unique, tall, majestic and has enormous sentimental value since it's my husband's grandfather's grandfather clock. We have moved that clock from Jacksonville, to Tampa, to Atlanta, to Dallas, to Chicago and finally to the NE in Stamford CT. Needless to say, we have had numerous "clock repair" people work on our clock. When we serendipitously found Karyn from Village Clock Makers, our search for the clock master ended. Karyn has cared, correct and fixed our clock for over 16 years. She is a little wisp of a thing and has to stand on a step stool to reach the mechanisms but she knows exactly what she's doing. She can pinpoint the problem, even making a part if necessary. I can't say ENOUGH about Karyn and her knowledge of clocks and her passion for them. She has repaired other clocks we own, not just our grandfather clock. She's dependable, on time and dare I say it....you can set your watch by her. I can't recommend her enough."

Her work is timely, skilled, thorough, and priced appropriately. Her attention to detail and technique makes working with her an easy choice.
