Father Time Antiques is the Midwest's largest restorer and retailer of vintage and antique, wristwatches, pocketwatches, and clocks. For more than 20 years we have been Chicago's premiere watch and clock shop. We specialize in an amazing variety of timepieces from all over the world with an emphasis on quality, selection, and expert restoration.

Our staff includes three master watchmakers, two master clockmakers, and an apprentice, who are all European trained and educated. We are located in the heart of "Antique Row" on Belmont Avenue on Chicago's North side. Our other store is in Oak Park, Illinois at 118 Oak Park Avenue, in the heart of Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio district. Between our two stores there is no one who has more restored vintage and antique wristwatches, pocket watches, and clocks in the Chicagoland area.

We are family owned and operated and can give you the kind of personal service that will allow you to select the perfect watch or clock with confidence and the knowledge that our staff will give you all the service and advice that you require.

We are members of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors #070343, the American Watchmakers Institute, World Wide Traders, International Watch and Jewelry Guild, the Belmont Avenue Antiques Dealer's Association, and the Oak Park Businessman's Association.

Our full time business is the acquisition, restoration, and retailing of vintage and antique timepieces. We are constantly searching for watches and clocks for our large customer base. If you have anything to sell we would like to talk to you.

Additionally if you have that one special family watch or clock that needs our special touch we would be glad to quote you a price for full restoration.
