Who repairs Vegilia clocks; have one for sale?

[George SD]

Good morning, As many of you may know Tom Martinez (jumprun) passed last year. I am assisting his family with the sale of his cars. At some point, Tom sent out the clock in his GTC for repair. The family does not have access to his emails, and his written notes do not include information where he sent it. I have tried all of the usual suspects (MoMa, No. Hollywood, Palo Alto) without success. I would appreciate any suggestions for other shops to contact that repair the Vegilia clocks that might have Tom's. Also, if anyone has a working clock correct for the GTC for sale, please also let me know. Thank you for your help! George Alspaugh

You might try D&M Restoration in SC. https://dandmrestoration.com/. They tried to repair my Veglia clock, but a NLA part prevented the repair.
So, I'm looking for a clock for my 1959 PF Coupe. This is a pure mechanical wind-up clock.

Hello Kerry and George,

I can probably heip.

i do have for the mechanical PF clock a complete NOS inside life.

those were available till 1990 and can replace the broken one.

George do the GTC have a white dial plate like the 250 lusso or some 250 SWB ?

Ciao

Kerry,

Thank you for the reply and suggestion. I will contact D&M. Naturally, my first priority is to locate the original. If that is unsuccessful, then I will be looking to purchase.

C,

Thanks for the response, I will reach out if I cannot locate the original. I know he would not have sent it overseas when there are shops in the States that replace clocks.

Thank you and please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

George is looking for a clock to fit in a 330GTC, Cornelis' clock is for 250 cars and won't fit the 330GTC. The GTC has a chrome ring and plastic hood. They came in 330GT 2+2s as well.

Very nice of you to help with the resurrection of Tom's car. Nichols Speedo in NC did some clocks for me on a couple of Porsches. It's a long shot i know, but worth a call...Phone: (336) 273-2881 (I'd previously worked with Kevin H.) Best, s

After a couple of email exchanges with Cornelis, none of his clocks would work for me. Then I contacted Marco at ELETTRAUTO FRANCO and he assured me that he had a replacement main spring if that was the only problem. I shipped the clock to him in Italy and it arrived on Tuesday. The next day, I received an email saying that the main spring was broken and it was replaced.

In addition, he overhauled the clock and it was working properly, ready to ship back.
