Machine Head Tuners (Geared Tuners) by Wittner.
I couldn't find these for 1/2 or 1/4 size violin but have provided links for 3/4-4/4 size on Amazon.
I strongly advise that you check which size tuning peg holes you have with a professional luthier before buying these, as they come in two diameter sizes. I will make a video about this one day but here are the product links anyway:
