About Us
A family-owned company with years of experience.
In 1958, Gordon Danserau and Richard Gallois opened The Clock and Watch Shop on Canal Street, then they moved the store to 835 Common St, in 1970. They developed the business into one of the best watch and clock shops for repairs and sales in the southern United States. When the two partners were prepared to retire in 1995, they sold the store to the current owner, Josef Herzinger.
Josef is a Master watch and clock maker form Austria, he graduated from the best watch and clock making school in his home country. Born in post-World War II Austria and fueled by native traditions that embraced the arts, culture, architecture and craftsmanship, Hirzinger was originally fascinated by gold and metalworking, not horology. His mentor advised that before Hirzinger could pursue a goldsmith apprenticeship, he must first study what was considered among the highest technical professions in Austria at the time: watch and clockmaking.
So, at age 14, Hirzinger enrolled in the Uhrmacherschule Karlstein an der Thaya in Austria, a once-thriving clock factory turned technical school, and successfully completed the intensive seven-year clock and watchmaking program. He emerged with advanced qualifications in watchmaking, as well as a passion for the precision and creativity required to create and repair complicated timepieces.
