The museum shows the evolution of the time measuring means, from the first "clocks" - the sun dials, burning clocks, with water or sand -, till the mechanical clocks "antiques" and the moderns ones.
There are here wonderful pieces that are not only the work of clockmakers but of the art makers also, which contributed to the attractive shapes, creating true styles.
