History

Established in 1966.

My Dad, Kund Christensen and his business partner Kay Yeager, took in their first clock sometime in 1966 (a year before I was born) and The Sutton Clock Shop has been keeping New York City ticking ever since. For four decades the shop stood, birds eye, on the second floor loft at the corner on 61st Street and Lexington Ave (now just another cupcake shop).

In 2013 we moved to our new location amidst a population (though now dwindling) of mom and pop shops in Yorkville at 218 East 82nd Street. Our dad retired in 2002 and as a family business my Brother James and I take much pride in our name and our reputation and strive to keep it sterling. And a testament to this is our longevity.

Any New Yorker knows that New York City does not tolerate poor service and bad workmanship. Any shop that offers that does not last long here!

So I reiterate we have been here for over 50 years (before Sutton Clocks they had a pawn shop, The Sutton Swap Shop on 55th and 3’d Avenue), and have every intention

Business Owner

The Sutton Clock Shop is my fathers shop, I was born into this.

I’ve been working diligently by his knee most of my life, and in the shop since 1995. He retired in 2002.

I repair on average 500 clocks per year. I love what I do and take this work and our reputation seriously.

I look at clocks as more than just inanimate objects but as unique individuals, as all of the older ones were hand made. Each clock has their own story; where they came from, how they got here, who they lived with, what they saw. Each has a soul. They sit there, on guard, presiding over your family, watching over the household… The heartbeat of the home we like to call it. And I want to keep that beat ticking for you and your next generation. Most of the clocks I repair are over one hundred years old and once fixed they are ready for their next one hundred.
