Cuckoo Clock Repairs and Restorationation

Cuckoo Clock Repairs and Restorationation is a specialist antique clock restoration workshop based in Balwyn, serving the wider Melbourne area by appointment. It was founded by horologist Michael Carew, who focuses specifically on bringing antique and vintage cuckoo clocks back to working order. The business's own description of its services covers consultation and expert advice on clock care, cleaning of both movement and case to remove dust and grime, and repair work including rebushing, fault-finding, and replacement of hands and parts to restore optimal performance. Cosmetic touch-ups to cases and carvings are also offered, aimed at preserving a clock's original character rather than over-restoring it. Beyond cuckoo clocks, the workshop has also taken on other mechanical horological pieces, including a Black Forest carved automaton clock, reflecting a broader interest in antique mechanical timepieces. Michael documents his equipment and process closely, including recently upgrading his bushing machine specifically to improve the precision and workflow of repairs for customers. For Melbourne owners of an antique or vintage cuckoo clock that has stopped keeping time, or fallen out of beat entirely, this Balwyn-based workshop offers the kind of dedicated, hands-on restoration expertise that general clock or jewellery shops don't typically provide.
