Beyer Zurich Clock and Watch Museum

Uhrenmuseum Beyer, Zürich

The unique museum, originated from the private collection of Theodor Beyer (1926-2002) and displays about 270 rare and precious timepieces of all kinds - from 1400 BC to the present.

In one of the most important collections in the world, antique treasures are presented and the history of time measurement from 1400 BC to the present day is told. Here you can experience the wondrous world of watches and the fascinating art of their manufacture in the middle of Zurich - in the basement of the store on Bahnhofstrasse.

The exhibition features rare and precious exhibits such as shadow rods, sundials, oil clocks, hourglasses, water clocks, grandfather clocks, table clocks, pocket watches, wristwatches and scientific instruments. In addition, historical pieces come to life in films. Visitors can go on a journey through time - independently or with a guided tour.
