The Museum für Uhren und mechanische Musikinstrumente contains valuable objects from over seven centuries of craftsmanship in Swiss clock making. You'll see timepieces of all kinds: pocket and wrist watches, table and wall clocks, grandfather clocks, and even huge timepieces found on city hall towers. As an extra bonus, you'll see (and hear) various mechanical music instruments as the guide takes you through the rooms.
