"The Viennese Clock Museum is housed in the Harfenhaus (Harpist’s House), one of the oldest homes in Vienna. With around 1,000 clocks in the “Uhrenmuseum,” there is much to see. Of particular note is the 230-year-old astronomical clock, constructed by an Augustinian friar. Built in 1679, and calibrated up to the year 9999, it is a gorgeous piece of engineering. With layers upon layers of golden gears, and over 30 readings and dials, it is stunning. Each hand takes 20,000 years to revolve.  It’s all arranged in chronological order, from ornate pocket watches, to a 15th-century tower clock, to sundials, to rare Japanese pillar clocks, to grandfather clocks, to Black Forest cuckoo clocks, to a huge clock organ (unfortunately not working at the time of this writing). Update October 2017: The astronomical clock is not on display." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Loved this place. We were fascinated by the collection of mechanical clocks and other timepieces here from the 16c to the 20c. You must give yourself time to read the descriptions and details of the exhibits. It's absolutely fabulous. There are free lockers, with a €1 deposit, for your bags, and a tiny gift shop. Admission is inexpensive. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic Clock Museum ⏰! The watch collection is simply amazing, spanning a variety of eras and styles, from antiquity to modern times. I recommend this museum to all connoisseurs of watchmaking and history. Here you can enjoy an amazing collection and plunge into the unique world of watches. This is one of the best museums I have visited in Vienna! 🌟

This “small” museum of timekeeping devices spans 3 floors arranged by historic periods and types of clocks. Even if you think you are not really interested, you may still be amazed by several of the pieces on display, and with an entrance fee of only 8 EUR you really should give it a try! Note that many of the items have a QR code posted, if you scan it you get to see a short video of that item actually operating. (It also has lockboxes at the entrance, restrooms, and the full price when we went was only 8 EUR.)

It is a very short museum although on 3 levels. We took our time and spent around 25 minutes in there. It is an impressive collection, but I think it is more interesting for collectors than for lay people.

Definitely a hidden gem within Vienna's museums. Well worth the visit even though it's a pretty small museum. Our visit lasted like 40 minutes and we took our sweet time viewing everything.

I love clocks and watches so it was probably always going to get top marks from me. Some of the staff can be a bit... how do I put this politely... quirky.

As a watch enthusiast, I must recommend this. The museum has a lot of amazing watches dating from 17-18th century until present times. It is a must while in Vienna? No. But if you are passionate about them or have some spare time, I recommend you pay a visit. Also, entrance is free on the first Sunday of the month.
