25.01.2022 Daylight savings has ended and for us mechanical clock enthusiasts it means wrangling the clocks. Just a tip: because winding clock hands backwards on clocks that strike will cause you no end of grief, it is much easier to just stop the pendulum and restart at the corresponding time. Hope you all stay safe and happy. Cheers Andrew and Carol.

23.01.2022 SOLD Something a bit different! We have come across this very collectable Baume Genive pocket watch (still in business today as Baume and Mercier). It is in exceptional condition defying its circa 1880 date of manufacture. Stunning hand engraved fine silver case and white porcelain enamel dial, it is wound and set with a small key supplied. These watches take you back to a simpler time and make a great gift and a future heirloom for future generations to cherish. $245. Postage available at cost.

23.01.2022 Sold. Clocks at Briag have been a bit quiet on the posts lately due to outside commitments, however behind the scenes it is "all systems go"! With two cuckoo clocks on the way and this latest Grandfather Clock offering. Available to be viewed at The Book Shoppe Maffra. Priced to sell at $1000. ... Serviced with set up and delivery within a reasonable distance.

23.01.2022 This is the result of 100 hrs plus whilst locked down recently.We can't establish a makers name but can on the dial maker. It was made by William Whitaker of Halifax, he only worked between 1805 and 1820 so this dates it fairly accurately. These old timers ( pardon the pun) are a real pleasure to see going again. Maybe it will see another 200 years?

21.01.2022 Saturday will be our final day in the shop (a few bargains left). Whilst a bit sad, it will give us more time to give an even more personalized service to our loyal customers. We are happy to call past and pick up your clock for repair, then drop it back to you all refreshed. Also keep us in mind if you are after something specific as we can always chase down what you are looking for. This is certainly not the end of Clocks at Briag, just the start of a new chapter. Thankyou again for your past patronage and hopefully we get to see a few familiar faces in the shop on Saturday. Cheers Andrew and Carol.

20.01.2022 Another Beautiful rare 400 day clock we have restored for a client this week. It features a celestial dial with a functional moon which rotates to indicate the current phase and the pendulum is the world globe. Clever little Germans!!#400dayclock#clockrestoration#kaiserclock#vintageculture#mechanical#salevictoria#maffravictoria#melbourneantiques#metung#paynnesville#gippsland#southgippsland#briagolong.

19.01.2022 This Mauthe German wall clock from the 30s has a beautiful rich original patina that would look at home in just about any decor. As an added bonus it actually tells the time. With a fully serviced movement it gongs the half and counts the hours. At just $240 you get form and function. Due to our new online format we deliver to you, so make contact and well take care of the rest!

18.01.2022 There are 15 days to Christmas and Andrew and Carol are available for a " sneaky delivery" if you want to surprise that special person on Christmas morning (even if that means outside of the traditional business hours). We still have a Grandfather and Grandmother clock available or maybe you have a clock that is of sentimental value that would mean a lot to your loved one if it was working once again. Or maybe you just think that you deserve a special present for yourself. Either way give us a call and we will endevour to put a smile on your face on Christmas morning!

18.01.2022 SOLD. Uberraschung!!! ...is the German word for "surprise". For you clever cookies that said Anniversary clock, you are spot on. This circa 1920 Gustav Becker anniversary clock is highly collectable and as you can see from the previous post, it has been totally stripped down and lovingly reassembled. It needs to be wound only once a year!!! $550 delivered and set up

17.01.2022 SOLD. Simply stunning!! Well we think so. This 1930s oak Grandfather clock certainly has a presence. The high quality German movement plays beautiful Westminster chimes. As always it has been thoroughly serviced and will be delivered and set up in your home. $1650.

17.01.2022 With many an hour now spent at home can you imagine the soft soothing tick as you read a book in your favorite chair? Maybe the Westminster chimes will take you back to grandmas house? This clock has the silent chime feature in case it annoys someone in the house. Fully restored to its 1940s glory. $ 250.

14.01.2022 SOLD The perfect solution to the problem of "no room for a grandfather clock". This Grandmother clock takes up very little space at around 4 feet high. Circa 1930 it boasts a very nice English Westminster movement that has a lovely tone and the ability to silence if required. The oak case has just the right patina! We get asked to source these quite frequently so get in quick. $725 delivered and set up at your place.

14.01.2022 Its been another busy week in the workshop. We thought we would share the clock restoration we have just completed. It is a very rare 400 day tortion pendulum clock made in Germany in 1909 by the Urania clock company. After quite a lot of work it will now run for a full year on one wind of the spring. Quite amazing wouldnt you agree?

14.01.2022 In these challenging times finding quality stock has been harder than in the past. We have been fortunate enough to accuire this beauty. Badische German clocks were renowned for producing very high quantity pieces and this one is no exception. This 1930s grandfather clock features solid timber cabinet, original Westminster chime rods, fully serviced movement and amazing shaped weights. Ready for you to enjoy for years to come. Delivery and set up included. $1350.

14.01.2022 We have been travelling to source more grandfather clocks and in our travels we found this little gem. If you are sick of throw away plastic examples and you are after a barometer that actually works, then consider this beautifully made German example. The wooden surround is 20cmx20cm and the barometer is 10cm round, so you dont need to have a lot of space to fit this one in. It comes serviced and calibrated. At $120 we predict it wont last long.SOLD

13.01.2022 Sometimes less is more and that is certainly the case with this 1910 Sessions American mantle clock. With minimal adornments the grain of the solid oak case is the hero. The pressed metal dial is a window to the era of craftsmanship. With a soft resonating gong on the hour and a delicate bell on the half hour, there is not one thing on this clock that one would find offensive. Fully restored and ready to grace your place. PRICE $245.00

13.01.2022 Sold. Remember this on Nannas wall? Every time the grandchildren visit we get the request..make the birdy come out Gravy(thats what they have named Andy). It seems the fascination for the dancing people and the little bird transcends time. Create nostalgia by hanging this on your wall!! $285. Delivered and set up. Sold.

12.01.2022 Next up is this lovely Vienna style wall clock. It really makes a statement with beautiful timber tones and a height of 83cm. It runs one month on a full wind and strikes once on the half hour and counts the hours. Fully serviced and ready to set up at your home.$320.

12.01.2022 Very busy with repairs and restorations lately, but managed to put aside some time to restore this rare beauty. This is a Tortion pendulum Bandstand clock made by Keininger and Obergfell around 1926. These clocks; like their smaller cousins, only need winding with a key once a year.

09.01.2022 A before and after to showcase how beautiful these old gems can be with some TLC. Under all that old dirt and grime hid a solid walnut piece of history that would be at least 100 years old. Should be right for the next hundred now! We think the client will be pleased.

07.01.2022 SOLD. This grandfather clock may only be around 20 years old but it sure does a fantastic job of looking 100 plus!
