The York Time Institute is a school in York, Pennsylvania providing instruction in the conservation, restoration, and repair of traditional and modern time-keeping devices. It was founded in 2008 by Daniel Nied,[1][2][3] former Director of the School of Horology of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. The school is housed in a 19th-century building that also housed two different watchmakers in its 150-year history.[4]

Instruction

As a school of horological instruction, the York Time Institute teaches advanced skills, conservation, fundamental skills (lathe work, milling, parts-making, shaping, forming, horological science, and metallurgy), restorative arts (plating, engraving, engine turning, casting, and antique techniques), and youth programs (horological toys, history of timekeeping, and the science of time). The school offers a 54-week program, weekend short courses, and evening lectures.[5]

Accreditation
