A&L Clocks

A&L Clocks is a specialist antique clock restoration workshop based in Wantirna, established in 2002 and operating strictly by appointment. The business focuses on the full restoration and maintenance of 17th, 18th and 19th century clocks and clock dials, with particular expertise in antique English, French, Austrian, Swiss and German movements. The workshop is fully equipped for in-house horological work: overhauling and restoring clock movements, cutting new wheels and pinions, re-pivoting, verge conversions, and fabricating brass and steel parts to match a clock's original period, along with gold leafing and gilding. A separate strand of the business restores silvered and painted clock dials, ranging from small repairs to complete dial restorations, as well as brass, bronze, timber and marble clock cases. The client base is described as spanning Melbourne-based antique dealers, serious clock collectors and single clock owners, with the business also noting turret clock work undertaken as part of a small specialist team in Tasmania and Melbourne. All work is guaranteed, with the shop collecting, restoring and returning larger pieces on-site. Note that A&L Clocks' documented expertise is in mechanical clocks and dials rather than wristwatches specifically; it is included here as a genuine, long-established precision horology specialist rather than a general repairer, and should be understood by visitors as a clock restoration house first.
