The current collection, the largest in the world devoted to the history of time measurement, includes not only Swiss and international watches and clocks from the 16th century to the present day, but also tools, machines, instruments, automata, models or reconstructions of lost objects, as well as paintings, engravings and iconographic collections from the various fields of time measurement.
