The Kauri Clock Factory

Kauri Creations and Innovations, also known as The Kauri Clock Factory, is located in Whangarei, Northland, New Zealand. Here at Kauri Creations and Innovations we make a range of different products out of the ancient timber. We produce everything from key rings and small ornaments, right through to clocks and large pieces of furniture. With over 3500 clocks and Kauri items on display our factory showroom is a great place to come and visit or to bring your guests. We know you will be amazed by the number of clocks as well as the beauty of the furniture and other items on display. The crafting of the ancient swamp Kauri into beautiful clocks is a very labour intensive process taking us several weeks to complete. Each piece is individually designed and carefully handled up to 20 times by our crafts people. The natural form and spectacular colours make each clock unique ensuring no two are ever the same. The ancient swamp Kauri we use in the manufacture of the Kauri clocks and crafts is sourced from two main areas in New Zealand. The wood from Kai Iwi lakes in the Dargaville area has been carbon dated at 45,000 plus years old and is mainly dark in colour. The wood sourced from Takinini, just south of Auckland, is carbon dated at 1290 plus years old and has a lighter, grainier colouring.
