Our Mission


Our Mission

Cabarrus Time Savers is a non-profit organization that has set out to identify and restore important public time pieces in our community. We consider tower and street clocks to be an important part of our history, in Cabarrus County. For many decades, people planned their day to day lives around clocks in the public eye. We are dedicated to preserving, repairing, and restoring these clocks.

The purpose of this blog is to bring you history of our local horology, news of our current projects, and provide a means to communicate with the community when we need help with historical facts and locating clocks and missing parts for these clocks.

If you would like to donate to our restoration funds or have questions about fund raising, please contact us at: cabtimesavers@yahoo.com

If there is a clock in our community that you feel is important or that may even be missing, please reach out to us.


Thank you!
Scott Schmeiser

The Clock from a Different View

This past weekend we hired our friend, Tyler Nottingham, to do some drone video footage and still photos of the clock tower specifically focusing on the dials before they are removed.  The County was able to come out and supervise the flight.  The same will be done after the new dials are installed.  Stay tuned for that footage!  We're very excited to see how it all turns out.

Clock Update - Dials Are Complete

Here's a wonderful update for our community!  Phil Wright has completed the dials and are ready to be installed in the courthouse clock tower.  We are targeting May the 2nd for installation.  These are really going to look incredible overlooking Concord.
