## About

Clock Shop is an Australian-owned specialist retailer of authentic German clocks, watches, music boxes, weather instruments, and German gifts, established in 1993 in Montville, Queensland. The business is operated by the Hoffman family — founded by Phil and Fran Hoffman, now run by their son Daniel (Dan) Hoffman and his wife Holly.

Clock Shop is based in an iconic German chalet-style stone and shingle building on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The store has welcomed over 3 million visitors since opening and is recognised as a must-see destination for visitors to Montville.

Clock Shop is an authorised VdS (Verband der Schwarzwälder Uhrmacher) Black Forest Clock Association dealer and repair centre, offering certificates of authenticity for mechanical Black Forest clocks. Dan and Holly travel to Germany annually to hand-select stock directly from Black Forest manufacturers, maintaining supplier relationships built over 30 years.

An onsite clockmaker provides expert clock repair, servicing, and restoration.
