Taylor H T

Taylor H T is a long-established watchmaker and jeweller on Carlisle Street in St Kilda / Balaclava, with roots going back to 1920, making it one of the older watch and jewellery businesses in the area. The shop handles hands-on watch repair work: customers describe having links removed from an expandable vintage watch band after other jewellers had turned the job away, a TAG watch battery changed and properly refitted, and a decades-old Seiko brought back to life after not running for ten years, with the watchmaker managing to source a replacement circuit for it. Staff, including Sue, are described by regular customers as knowledgeable in their craft and reasonably priced, reflecting the shop's century-long grounding in traditional watchmaking. For anyone in St Kilda with an older or unusual watch that other jewellers have declined to touch, Taylor H T's long history and hands-on approach to repair make it a natural first call.
