Locene Clockworks repairs, services clocks in new location in Grapevine

What started as a hobby has now turned into a storefront for Locene Clockworks.

Logan McClenny has a background as a mechanical engineer, but his interest in clocks dates back to when he was a child. He said he tried to fix a clock in his parents’ closet and got it working. It broke again and he fixed it again.

“That hobby turned into a side gig and the side gig got carried away and here we are,” he said from his store in Grapevine.

Zooming in: For the past three years, Locene Clockworks has been operating in an upstairs space at Bermuda Gold and Silver, 402 S. Main St., in Grapevine.

He said almost every clock that is repaired has a story and a history that is connected to generations of families.

What else? Locene Clockworks has more than 2,000 subscribers on its YouTube page and also shows repairs and projects through its Instagram page.
