Wonderful exhibits and presentation. I really appreciate being so close to the timepieces to get to truly experience the skill, ingenuity, and craftsmanship that went into designing these machines. Absolutely mind boggling. The facilities and grounds are gorgeous, clean, and accessible. Perfect for large groups or small family outings.
The museum also features a huge concept clock, I think it was called the Engels clock, that has so many moving parts it beggars belief. It's worth timing your visit to take in the chance to see it in action.
The museum has an intriguing range of time pieces and looks at the measurement of time from the very first crude time pieces (sand clocks, water clocks etc) to sundials to the modern quartz movements. There are a range of clocks with different types of escapement on show so you can see the escapements working, a lot of pocket watches and long case clocks as well as a few intriguing concept timepieces that are unlike anything I'd ever seen before.
So many awesome watches and clocks! This place really displays the intricate work involved in manufacturing.
Been meaning to come here for a while and finally made it down thanks to having to be nearby.
Great place to go!! The exhibits are amazing! The tours were very interesting and informative. You must see the 8th wonder of the world clock..the time and effort the maker put into it is just awe inspiring. I'm really glad I got to go. I highly recommend you check this place out.
Awesome pieces is history in here. Wish I would have allowed more time (no pun intended) to see everything. The Centenial clock was awesome!
