More than 10,000 objects from the 16th century to the present: watches, clocks, tools, automata and archives, in the town whose watchmaking urban plan is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Guided tours also come in a tactile version for visually impaired visitors, and as a discovery of the mechanical workshop.
