This family-owned store has been a key part of Douglasville society since it first opened in 1967. Since its first days it has evolved to be more than a simple store selling all manner of clocks and timepieces.
Containing one of the largest and finest private clock collections in the world, the shop is also home to Earth’s largest functioning cuckoo clock, which stands four metres high and includes a full-scale stag’s head as part of its decorative carving.
Elsewhere, its tower contains a mechanism built in London, England in 1865. But be warned, spend five minutes looking at every object in the shop’s collection and you’ll have to reserve three days just for this one attraction.
Our journey to Champ's started with an interest in seeing the World's Largest Indoor Cuckoo Clock. Jeff was VERY accommodating. His fascinating stories and explanations on both movies and mechanical items kept my families interests. The time pieces in the shop are not only a sight to behold, but are fantasmagorical!!! What was planned to be a 15 minute excursion became a much longer visit with no regrets. I can't wait for another visit.
This is one of the few businesses that I have encountered that has true integrity, and a heart for people!!! I called this afternoon to ask for an estimate on getting my grandfather clock repaired due to the fact that it was not chiming correctly for the hour that it was set! I am not sure who the gentleman was who spoke with me, but he walked me through the steps to correct the problem! Thanks to this gentleman for his kindness and patience and not just reaching for the profit by setting up a house call which he could have done! I HIGHLY recommend this company, and pray that God will continue to bless the gentleman with whom I spoke and the company!!
Very helpful and friendly people. They repaired our Cuckoo clock in minutes while we waited. The place is like a theme park with exciting and beautiful clocks around every corner. They even helped me with an adjustment via email and I cant say enough about how professional and friendly they are. Well worth the drive.
Can't wait to make it back out here! Beautiful place! Amazing selection, and prices are a fraction of what you find online! Great quality, and the owners are so helpful and knowledgeable, you can tell they love and are great at what they do!
