The following photographs illustrate that only passion, knowledge and experience can bring such results.  Covenant is committed to perfecting the Herschede restoration.

To the left is a claimed restoration of a Herschede plate. When in fact it was only dipped in solutions. To the right is the same plate restored and the finish placed back to new condition.
 

This is a nine tubular Herschede plate with the finish completely restored.  Beware of advertisements that state a quick wash, not to remove original finish.  The finish must be removed to properly clean and restore this piece.  Most clockmakers are afraid of removing the finish because they do not know how to properly replace the finish. When this happens the plate has blotches of spots and is unacceptable.

The finish is extremely attractive as the day it was new. Herschede made sure that absolutely no fingerprints ever left the factory. Covenant follows this same practice.

Once done the plate will look beautiful and reflective. Here is an example of a movement after it passed inspection, it will go through a regulation phase of not 14 days rather numerous weeks and will be tested and tested and tested and tested. Owners are proud of their Herschede clocks and it is important that you have professional restoration done and someone who knows what they are doing.

All Leathers are replaced to perfection the clock will sound as if it was the first time played at the factory.

It hurts us to see these movements destroyed and often we hear the customers complaint that they have had  the movement from one clockmaker to another and nobody seems to get it right. This company was formed on the basis to confront this problem that "Covenant Clock Restorations"  is a promise, and a commitment to Herschede and their owners. Customers are not asking for a perfect clock maker just one that will not destroy their clock. 

We have no quarrels with other clockmakers ...... They know what their services are worth!
