The History Behind Japanese Clocks

A Legacy of Precision, Art, and Innovation

Japanese clockmaking has a fascinating heritage dating back centuries. Traditional Japanese clocks, called "wadokei," differed from Western clocks by using temporal hours, which varied in duration depending on the time of year. These devices not only marked time but reflected the rhythms of nature and cultural philosophy.

By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Japan adopted mechanical clockmaking practices influenced by the West, yet retained a uniquely Japanese design aesthetic. Brands like Rhythm, Seikosha (now Seiko), and Orient became globally recognized, blending craftsmanship with innovation.

At Japanese Clock Logos, we honor this legacy by preserving, restoring, and educating others about the artistry and mechanics of these rare timepieces. Each clock we offer tells a story that spans generations.

Common Clock Repair Myths Debunked

Separating Fact from Fiction in Horology

Clock repair is a specialized craft — and like many skilled trades, it comes with its fair share of myths. At Japanese Clock Logos, we believe that informed owners make better restoration choices. Let’s clear up some common misconceptions:

Myth 1: “The clock's operational status is confirmed simply by whether or not it ticks.”

Truth: Just because a clock ticks doesn’t mean it’s keeping accurate time. Internal components may be worn, misaligned, or overdue for maintenance.

Myth 2: “Use any available oil to lubricate it yourself.”

Truth: Clock movements require specialized horological oil. Using household oil can damage gears and gunk up the mechanism over time.

Myth 3: “Old clocks aren’t worth repairing.”

Truth: Many antique clocks are valuable — sentimentally, historically, and financially. Proper restoration can bring them back to life and even increase their value.

Myth 4: “All ticking noises mean something’s wrong.”

Truth: Not all ticking is bad. Some clocks are naturally louder, especially older mechanical models. Inconsistent ticking could be a sign of malfunction.

Myth 5: “You can wind any clock any way.”

Truth: Overwinding or turning the key the wrong way can cause internal damage. Ensure you always wind the clock in its original direction and avoid using excessive force.
