This shop is the real deal for clocks! Larry, the owner, is absolutely awesome. This gentleman knows his clocks. I took a cuckoo clock to this store and told Larry what I needed. He stayed past closing time to repair my clock! You just don’t see that in business anymore. GREAT experience with this shop. Highly recommend it.

This is an amazing shop, a must see in Sarasota. Ive never seen such an incredible collection of beautifully restored antique clocks. This place could be a museum. If you love old clocks you could easily spend hours here.I recently inherited an antique gingerbread clock thats been in our family for generations. The clock didnt work and I (foolishly) tried to fix it. I completely botched the job, all the clockworks fell apart. A total disaster. I was heartbroken.I brought the clock to Larry at the Antique Clock Emporium for repair. He referred it to his long time clock repair and restoration expert William. About a month or so later I got the clock back in perfect working order and restored better than Ive ever seen it. William went above and beyond. He even restored the original stencil pattern (hand painted) on the glass front panel of the clock that had completely worn away.These guys have a passion for antique clocks, take great pride in their work and clearly love what they do. I highly recommend Larry and William for all your antique clock needs.

Thank you Larry and your talented associate William for the wonderful repair and restoration of our 1950s family heirloom - a south German Christmas Procession music box. Your repair of the figures was very well done, and the restoration of the music box to again play Silent Night perfect. You even improved the sound by placing a small wooden board by the instrument!

Antique Clock Emporium is one of the coolest shops I ever been to in my entire life. Such an incredible collection of antique clocks. Larry is a true expert and his passion for his work is so evident. He took the time to walk me through his shop and give me a backstory on a variety of his novelty pieces. If you are looking for an antique clock in Sarasota, this is the only place you should go.

This pre WW I 400 day clock had not worked in over 30 years and Larry and his repair crew not only got it cleaned up but got it running as well. Larry had never seen a clock like this but was able to instruct me on all the intricacies of the movements, the way to adjust the clocks speed and how and when one should wind a 400 day clock.I highly recommend him not only for his repairs but also for his wealth of knowledge about all things clock related.

My husband and I stopped in last week and were happily surprised with the sheer number and high quality of so many unique clocks on display.

I always enjoy visiting Larry and his extensive clock collection. What a joy to see such artistry and hear from someone who clearly loves what he does and hopes you will feel the same. The first time a friend and I stopped by last summer, we were there for at least 45 minutes in his small store (which has a bounty of clocks). There is so much to learn and see. If you are interested in acquiring a beautiful clock, look no further.

I had a wonderful experience with the repair of a clock that was important to me. Repair completed the same day and for the estimated price even though the problem was more difficult and took longer to fix. Larry was generous with his time and price and clearly a knowledgeable and enthusiastic lover of clocks. Thank you!

Honest business owner and a variety of time keeping pieces to choose from.Stopped in to get some information for a wall clock that we own & has just been sitting up on the wall doing nothing. After going in we are educated on the time keeping piece ... Worth the trip in just to see the many time keeping pieces ! Like no other, right in Sarasota.

What a fantastic antique clock store. Larry knows everything about all of his large collection of clocks. I took my grandmothers antique gingerbread clock as it hasnt ran in years. I inherited it so i wanted to hear it chime again. I took it in on Saturday and Larry fixed it in no time at all. However when I brought it home I had problems on Sunday. So I emailed him expecting to hear back from him on Tuesday during his regular store hours. But he sent me his phone number and said to call him. Remember it is Sunday. He was kind enough to walk me through what i needed to do to make some minor adjustments. Great person who loves clocks and wants to share his knowledge. If you love clocks, you need to visit his store.

I could have stayed in this store the whole day and then some!My wife and I visited Sarasota for a couple of days and we stumbled upon Larrys store. When we came in, my jaw literally hit the floor, being witness to one of the finest collections of clocks Ive ever seen in my life.Larry was kind and generous with his time sharing with us the story behind his 30+ year journey of his collection. In addition, his knowledge of the pieces can only be surpassed by the master clock maker that helps him restore this unique, rare and unbelievable pieces.You MUST visit the Antique Clock Emporium! And if you are an avid collector or enthusiast youll feel like you found a mine of gold.Thank you Larry and we hope to be back soon.Julio and Pam

When an antique clock shop is able to hold the attention of 10 and 13 year old boys for over an hour you know its incredible. Owner, Larry, knows every little detail about each clock in the shop. My sons were mesmerized and we left with a plethora of knowledge. LOVED IT!

Larry was an absolutely amazing host and took the time to talk with us about nearly every clock in the store! He knew something interesting about every piece in the shop and we can’t wait to go back.

The proprietor of this emporium, Larry Adams, is absolutely amazing. In the space of a half hour, I learned more about clocks then in my prior 60 years on this planet. He is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to educate you. He is forthcoming with his knowledge without being condescending, he talks to you like he is your best friend. I will definitely be back.Each piece he sells is extremely unique, and extremely reasonable price. You can definitely buy with confidence at the Antique Clock Emporium.

We visited The Clock Emporium on a recent vacation to Sarasota. Our interest was peaked on an earlier trip this year just by a quick glance through the windows. We knew then we would definitely put it on the list of things to do when we returned. It was clear that within a few steps inside, we were captivated. Of all the internet searches and the usual scavenging into so called antique shops, we had hit the motherload of exquisite artful timepieces.We were met by a friendly gentleman named Larry, who was very informed and knowledgeable about each clock we were interested in. However I was in such awe and dreamy wonderland, I do not recall specifically his words, just WOW what a collection! Well it was odvious we would leave with a find that day, and a FIND we did.We are owners of a beautiful french porcelain clock with matching vases with an amazing experience to accompany it. This clock will mark time as a reminder of our explorations that week in Sarasota, on an ordinary day that became extraordinary.Thank you Larry for a lifelong memory!

This store is truly a hidden gem. Even if you’re not in the market for an antique clock or didn’t even think you’d like one, visit anyway. Larry’s collection is one of a kind and each item is a work of art! You might even surprise yourself and realize when the time is right, you’ll have to own one for yourself.

My 100 year old French glass regulator suddenly stopped working and after researching clock repair options, I took it to Larry Adami. After inspecting the clock, Larry discovered the only thing wrong was a loose screw. That took care of it and Larry did this as a courtesy.If you have an interest in antique clocks, you must visit the Antique Clock Emporium..Thank you Larry, I’m so grateful to have my clock running again.L.

My promise to all my antique Clock collector friends is to always have the best quality and most beautiful clocks to adorn any ones home for many years to come! We certify every clock to be exactly what we say it is in the description card which accompanies every clock we have in our store for sale. All of our clocks are in museum quality condition and in excellent operating order.. For over thirty five years I have searched the world over for the rarest quality and most beautiful clocks I can find. With the largest selection in the south eastern United States and now with over one million dollars in inventory and with over thread hundred and fifty clocks to choose from in our store. All this I pledge to you as the owner and operator of ANTIQUE CLOCK EMPORIUM Larry Adami!!!!

If I could give this store 10 stars I would! ONG! I’ve never seen so many beautiful clocks in my lifetime. The owner Larry gave us a professional warm welcome and took the time to give us a tour all along telling us the stories in each of the pieces of art. I can’t express how wonderful of an experience going to this very unusual antique clock store. Believe me it’s wirth the visit. We purchased a magnificent mantle clock in perfect condition. He evened offered to deliver it free and set it up for us. Very expressive!
