About
Us
Our family business started in
1966 when Lance VanTassel dedicated a small portion of his Muncie
based furniture store to display a few grandfather clocks. Together,
with his son Clark, they began to develop a true appreciation for
quality timepieces. By 1970, their once 2 to 3 display of
clocks had grown into 15-20. They were then known as VanTassel
Furniture and "Clock Gallery" People came from miles
to purchase their family heirlooms and always seemed to have
questions about their antique clocks wondering who could fix
them. Clark made the decision that since they were offering
sales of quality timepieces, that it was only fair to offer service
as well. With that idea alone, the family began educating
themselves and working with clocks. In later years, having
grown up in the family business,
Tony
and Andy VanTassel began working with clocks under the guided hands
of their father and grandfather.

Today, the old furniture store in
Muncie
is now closed, but the dreams of the late Lance VanTassel and his
admiration and love for clocks still lives on in the eyes of his son
Clark and his grandsons
Tony
and Andy. Today, Clark and
Tony
continue to carry on their family's tradition in clocks with the
help of their companions. Clark and his wife Sharon work daily
at the Noblesville Clock Company along with Tony
and Theresa.
Clark
does most of the “in home” service calls as well as pick-ups,
returns and bench work too.
Sharon
works with customers on a daily basis as well overseeing the
company’s bookkeeping.
Tony
has been working with clocks for almost 27 years now and specializes
in collector pieces such as Herschede tubular bell movements both 2
and 3 weight, English bell, and French repeater movements.
Theresa has only been working with clocks for just over 8 years but has mastered the 2 spring American movements. Despite
being the newest in the business, she, to this day, holds the family
record for the worst injury while working on a clock. (Not
exactly the most prestigious award but hey...it happens) Andy
now works only part time with clocks, since the
addition of the newest VanTassel, Emily Kay VanTassel born
10-10-01
. She may not know it yet but she'll have the same love and
admiration for clocks that the rest of us do...we know that...it's
in our blood! Even her first word was… You guessed it…
“Clock”. Please stop
by and visit us today. If there is one thing that we do better
than work with clocks, it's visiting with our customers. We love
visitors and look forward to seeing you soon.
