american clock and watch museum印象

I've been here quite a few times and this place is nothing short of amazing! The people here really know clocks and other timepieces and are happy to share that knowledge with you!, not very far from Hartford, CT. The Collection is huge-all sorts of timepieces from timeclocks to watches to a clock mounted to the outside wall that goes through most of the building! a wonderful place to visit for old and young alike!

Fascinating small museum of time pieces . Interesting collections from the small to the tall and everything in between . We enjoyed spending the afternoon there and can't say enough good things about it ! Will definately return in the near future.

Enjoyed this even though I am not a clock person. Interesting to walk around and see all the difference clocks and how they work. Cheap for 1-3 hours of entertainment. I thought, wrongly, that many of the clocks would "go off" at noon and that was disappointing for me. Unfortunately, only a few of the clocks were in working order. Still very neat to walk around and I liked it! :)

Very unique place, from the small carriage clock to the church clock that goes through the floor they have a great selection. Try and make your visit close to noon and go to the great clock room. Nothing like standing in the middle of the room with all those tall clocks going off. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable .

Bristol CT was once the clock making hub of the country manufacturing and shipping millions of clocks and watches per year all over the world with the best known brands being Sessions and Ingraham. This museum preserves that great history, Great exhibits and knowledgeable people. Great for adults and older kids who have an interest. Even if you never thought much about clock making or don't have a family connections like lots of us locals, you will mostly likely still find it fascinating. 12 noon is a good time to be there.

Bristol CT was the birthplace of the American clock industry and this small museum is a tribute to that legacy. Although they may not suggest it, start with the history exhibition near the back of the museum to get a good overview of the industry and its place in American history. Then wander through the two historic buildings to marvel at the beautiful collection of clocks (and smaller collection of watches). If you are visiting with kids, ask for the scavenger hunt.

We visited the American Clock and Watch Museum and were impressed. The outside appearance doesn't really suggest how large the museum actually is. The collection of primarily clocks and watches was vast. We have previously been to the National Watch and Clock Museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania, and I would say that the ACWM covers the same breadth in a smaller footprint, since it represents only American made items. If you're into clocks, or history in general, it's well worth a visit.

Certainly deceiving from the outside, this historical and educational site is amazing.There are several rooms filled with antique clocks and the historical explanation of many.Although it might be a bit limited for younger tourists, it can still be very eye opening.One might check as to the entrance specials as there are promotions.Keep this on your list for something to do on a rainy day ... or any day with guests.

We went to the Timex museum in Waterbury and here on the same afternoon. They're only 10 minutes apart. This museum covers early American clock and watch making. I did not know that early clocks could be made from either wood or brass nor that peddlers could & did sell clocks from their carts all over the colonies. Visiting both museums made for a great afternoon.

We were pleasantly surprised on the large collection of American clocks and watches. The employees were very friendly and informative . If you have a thing for clocks it's a must see!
