L’Artisan du Temps - Watch Museum and Workshop
France | Fougères
Quarter-chiming skeleton watch with niello spiral gong, circa 1820.
Alain Le Floch and his wife invite you to share their passion for watchmaking on a visit to the heart of time.
L'Artisan du Temps stands inside a magnificent sixteenth-century building. First stop is the workshop, where the watchmaker busies himself to a chorus of tick-tocks. Mechanical movements from the simplest to the most complicated are brought back to life by his expert hand. The visit continues in the museum with a collection of watches and clocks, including numerous masterpieces, driven by ancient and sophisticated movements.
Visitors can also discover the tools watchmakers use. A film rounds off this journey into the heart of time.
