Museum of Clockmaking

The museum is at Bürkstraße 39, a building that was built to house the manufacturing plant for clocks by Wũrttenbergische Uhrenfabrik Bũrk Söhne.

That company was considered to be the world leader in the specialised field of portable watchmen's control clocks and related time-recording devices.

The core of the museum's collection is made up of working production machinery used to make precision metal parts that can be assembled into clock movements.

They have all the machinery in-house to produce all components (except for the mainspring) to manufacture a simple alarm clock movement.

Staffing permitting, the full museum visit includes a demonstration of the lathes, milling machines and punch presses, as well as the assembly and packaging process.
