About

Discover the Museum, a real timepiece of the industrial and social history of the Arve's valley. Follow the evolution of the farmer-watchmakers' skills from the XVIIIth century until the advent of the screwcutting technology during the industrial revolution.

Original by its history and its collections, the museum is worth the trip. Instituted at the early XXth century by the National School of Clockmaking of Cluses, the museum used to have 2 vocations : to collect ancient time measure instruments (oldest piece is from 16e century) and to save the local industrial memories.

Located into the Espace Carpano & Pons, an old factory, the museum presents also the story of the National School of Clockmaking by presenting unique pieces of clockmaking made by the pupils in Cluses.

Theme guided tours, theatric visits, workshops, temporary exhibitions are organized all the year round and will make you discover the treasures of the museum.

Free entry at the Museum every first Sunday of the month (from October to May).

To avoid the influx of visitors on the same hours, the entrance to the museum is limited to 20 people per 2-hour time slot (2 p.m. and 4 p.m. and 4 p.m.). In July and August, a third time slot will be available from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Reservation is highly recommended. It is done only by phone, on 04 50 96 43 00. Wearing a mask is compulsory (except for children under 10 years old). Hydroalcoholic gel is available for washing hands To limit the risk of contamination, no more mediation support will be offered. But you can download our room sheets from the website to prepare your visit. Live Facebook once a month on a piece of the museum. Guided tours in July and August on defined time slots: Wednesdays at 10 a.m. and Fridays at 2 p.m. (limited to 10 people)
