Collections
The mission of the MIH is to collect and preserve objects relating to time, its measurement and watchmaking in general. 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. With more than 10,000 objects, the museum is also endeavouring to collect archives and historical and audiovisual documents, in order to give an account of a living heritage.
