The original Schatz company is no longer manufacturing clocks or supplying repair parts. I have found it quite difficult to achieve satisfactory repair results on Schatz Royal Mariner and Ships Bell clocks that will guarantee that the clock operates properly, reliably, and consistently for any reasonable length of time. For this reason, I do not attempt to "repair" Schatz ship's bell clocks.

However, there is an alternative...

There is a conversion available, a complete replacement mechanism and dial (face) that is manufactured by another manufacturer, that will fit into Schatz Ship's Bell and Royal Mariner "cases". In this conversion, the original mechanism and dial are removed from the clock case, and the replacement mechanism and dial are installed. The new mechanism and dial fit into Schatz "cases" perfectly, and literally turn old Schatz Ships Bell clocks into brand new clocks!

Benefits:

  • Continuity in design: Your old Schatz outer brass case (and spokes, if it has them) remains the same, and the dial (face) on the new mechanism greatly resembles the original Schatz dial.
  • Speed: I keep the new mechanisms in stock, and can have the conversion completed within days. It will be done, tested, and ready for pickup or shipping in under a month.
  • 2-year guarantee: The Schatz Conversion is guaranteed for 2 years, parts and labor. This is a better guarantee than one would get on most new clocks, and certainly better than the 90 day, 6 month, or 1 year "guarantees" offered by other shops on their repair attempts.

The Schatz Royal Mariner Conversion -- it's like getting a brand new clock, for the price of a repair! For more details, and for pricing information, please Contact Me.
