Here are other reasons why you can rely on us.
Working with us means you’ll save time and money by reducing your maintenance needs. The gearboxes and gear types we use provide extra protection from environmental and operational stresses, and our self-lubricating mechanisms provide consistent oiling to minimize friction and damage. These features add up to less wear and tear on the clock movement and fewer maintenance costs for the building. You’ll delight facility owners and managers if you can show them how your design choices save them money by reducing maintenance needs.
Clock mechanisms from National Time have incredible durability and longevity. Because our sturdy gearboxes and gear trains contain lubricants and resist damage, they wear down slowly. They will provide the same smooth, precise, reliable timekeeping for many years without requiring replacement.
Our movements and controllers have proven in the field that they can withstand the worst of nature’s fury. The particular design of our gearboxes and gear trains gives our clocks the structural integrity they need to resist weather-related forces like wind shear, even in gale-force winds.
We combine superior materials, design and technology to deliver products that are still in service after a half-century. Per year of use, the costs of designing and installing clock controllers and movements from National Time & Signal work out to be extremely competitive.
We have supported many of our products for decades. When your clock eventually needs service or a part replacement, our team of friendly, courteous, knowledgeable pros is here to help keep it running.
