For decades, we have promoted the concept of clocks and watches from a scientific perspective. It is this concept that gives us the upper hand, the edge over our competitors, allowing us to fix devices no one else can.

For decades, we have promoted the concept of clocks and watches from a scientific perspective. It is this concept that gives us the upper hand, the edge over our competitors, allowing us to fix devices no one else can.
Please take some time to see the video courtesy of fellow horologists, attached to this page.
We built our credentials and reputation out of state but now offer our services to Central Florida and surrounding areas. In fact, for the past five(5) years, the Klox Dok has been providing its services to popular shops in Florida, who then charge you extra.
Why pay up to triple the price of repairs from shops who have hired us to repair your timepiece?
Eliminate the middle man and go directly to us. No one else has a better command of the subject than The Klox Dok.
Here is our philosophical approach:
Although many view watch and clock repairs as a trade, considering it a Manual Arts discipline; we emphasize the highly technical and theoretical aspect of Horology in every repair. Horology encompasses many scientific theories into one body of knowledge. Apprenticeship aside, the most competent horologists must undergo at least three years of formal training in Astronomy, Physics, Geometry, Algebraic Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering and even Chemistry.
At Klox Dok, we go a step further and apply the scientific method with ideas from the field of medicine. We approach every mechanical device, as a "patient" and treat it with dignity and respect.
For too long, we have witnessed the work of many amateurs and dilettantes posing as professionals while destroying valuable timepieces with unacceptable procedures. Some of these profiteers have been getting away with it for decades! That is why we vow to follow the oath of our governing body The American Watchmakers and Clockmakers Institute, to serve and protect your timepiece from mediocre repairs. We hold our work to the highest standards and yet at an astoundingly reasonable cost. Like doctors and lawyers, we also do pro-bono work, to let our community know how much we love our work and to establish good will. This pro-bono means that once every two months, we do a job absolutely free of cost! So call us and you may be the lucky one to get a free service.
Just as a doctor would, we are available for emergency repairs at off hours with a 24-hour phone service, and we do house calls.
At Klox Dok, we apply a medical procedure in the diagnosis of the problem and execute the solution with the skill and delicacy of a brain surgeon. When encountered with situations like a Hamilton 973 with a balance spring that measures fractions thinner than a human hair, it is imperative to handle it with the dexterity, eyesight and steady pulse of a seasoned surgeon!
Klox Dok's novel approach is not limited to clocks and watches; we service other antique mechanical devices that have gears such as music boxes, jukeboxes, victrolas, phonographs and memorabilia wind-up toys.
We also provide our services to museums, jewelers and other repair shops that encounter complex problems.
Affiliated member of the Smithsonian Institute, The American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI) and The National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC).
