New Clock Shop in Town
by Bill Tobin 3/14/10
Hills Antique Clock Shop, formerly of
Natick is now in East Holliston at the
intersection of Washington and
Concord Streets.
Richard Hills has been been
associated with the family-owned
antique clock shop founded by his
father in 1973 in Wellesley. Richard is
a skilled horologist with over 25 years
experience serving private collectors,
local clock enthusiasts, insurance and
moving companies.
Richard Hills, above, states that quality
of repair is their goal and they take
pride in providing prompt service with
flexibility to their customers. House
calls are available, which are
necessary in servicing grandfather
clocks.
Richard acquired his love and
appreciation for antique clocks from
from a family generation before him
and through Holliston's own well-known
clock maker, John Losch.
Antique clocks from simple to grand
add timeless elegance to any style
home. Patrick Dolan, at the work
bench, is a well known collector and is
available to assist in locating a special
collectable clock for you.
Antique clock is the key word.
Watches, battery and quartz
movements do not qualify for service in
this shop. Cuckoo clocks fit the bill if
they were around before 1920; if not,
forget it.
A wide selection of antique clocks are
available to purchase.

I smile every time I hear the chimes from our clock now that you have repaired
it. The word “Repair” might not say enough about how you brought this clock
made in 1790 back to life. It didn’t work. It had been shipped across the
country in pieces. Many parts were broken and others were damaged – some
gears were actually maliciously damaged. The clock hadn’t been cleaned in
years and the brass hadn’t received any attention in decades if not
centuries. Now the clock guides us through the day – hour by hour – as it did
when it was made 221 years ago. Pretty amazing. Thank you for your work.
What I find most impressive is that after you repaired and rebuilt the clock
works and you took apart every other part of the clock and cleaned it and
repaired it so that it now shines – the brass and the wood. Well done.

We have a clock that's been in Geoff's family for almost 200
years. It got severely damaged when shipped across the country
to us. The case, face, movement and glass were all in need of
substantial repair. Mr. Hills was able to restore it so that it
looked like it did prior to shipping. No one would ever guess
that it hadn't arrived in the same condition it left my father-in-
law's house.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time admiring the clock and
urns and even like the tick tock of the upstairs clock.
