The German Watch Museum Glashütte presents the "Fascination of Time - Experience Time".

The museum stages the myth of Glashütte and provides a philosophical approach to the phenomenon of time with a modern and multimedia exhibition. The exhibits are presented on 1,000 square meters of exhibition space. You are guided chronologically through various "history rooms". You will experience the technical development. Progress is impressively demonstrated by the many unique timepieces and unusual exhibits.
