Completing his clock and watchmaking apprenticeship through RMIT, David has worked for a number of different retail establishments repairing and restoring clocks and watches before joining us in 2009. David is the person to see for watch repairs and battery changes.
Shaun

'Sophie'
Apprentice Happiness Officer
Sophie, a Schnauzer puppy has recently joined the team at Canterbury Clocks. She's learning the ropes and can often been seen in the window. This doggy is not for sale! Currently spends her days exploring the workshop and chewing the broom.
‘Biscuit’
Happiness Officer
Sadly, we regret to announce that Biscuit passed away on 16 September 2017after an illness. Biscuit was a loyal companion, customer favourite, friend and long-time feature of Canterbury Clocks. She'll certainly be missed around the workshop.
Biscuit, a 14 year old Schnauzer/Spaniel cross can be found lounging around the workshop, greeting customers and always on the lookout for tidbits and snacks. Loves a pat and keeping everyone happy.
