Uhrenmuseum Winterthur, Winterthur

It's time for a new name. The Kellenberger watch collection was enriched in 2012 with Oscar Schwank's unique pocket watch collection. From now on, the two world-class collections will be presented together under the name Uhrenmuseum Winterthur.

It's time for a new name. The Kellenberger watch collection has been open to the public on Winterthur's Kirchplatz since 1999. In 2012, Oscar Schwank enriched the permanent exhibition with his unique pocket watch collection, thanks to which its reputation at home and abroad was further enhanced and consolidated. From now on, the two world-class collections will be presented together under a new name: Uhrenmuseum Winterthur. The Clock and Watch Museum Winterthur is home to two top-class collections of international renown: the Konrad Kellenberger watch collection and the Oscar Schwank pocket watch collection. They form the core of the two permanent exhibitions, which are complemented by other exquisite pieces from the world of watches and accompanied by special presentations, guest performances, guided tours and lectures. The multimedia exhibitions show antique clocks and watches from the 15th to 20th centuries and are aimed at clock and watch enthusiasts, specialists and the general public. The former Kellenberger Clock and Watch Collection will be renamed the Clock and Watch Museum Winterthur in mid-November 2017 to reflect the significant expansion of the collection and the constant addition of new objects to the collection.
