A small museum dedicated to the history of telling of time. As I don't speak German I was given an iPad which was very easy to use explaining in English each exhibit. It covered ancient Egyptian methods to latest digital. Worth a visit.

Beyer Watch and Clock Museum is located on Zurich Bahnhof Strasse. It is very small but there are some interesting pieces like Sir Edmond Hillary 's Rolex Explorer, a vintage Rolex Daytona and some very old clocks. There is a very small entrence fee. I would advice a visit to the museum, about 30 to 60 minutes followed by a coffee session at the adjacent Sprungli.

Beautiful clocks and history. A little weird that it's in the basement and is only open 4 hours but definitely enjoyed myself. A small museum but if you like and appreciate clock's it's a must see
-
Nice museum. Despite it being small, one can easily spend 3+ hours here. The labels are in German and visitors are provided an iPad with English, French, etc. translations. The iPad also has videos with sound so you may want to bring wired earphones with jack/Lightning connectivity.

This place is a bit smaller than what you'd expect. Lots of info, you really need to be into timepieces to get any value out of this. Staff are enthusiastic and they cater well for all languages
