Table clock, signed Rettig in Hachenberg, early 19th century stol.

Due to the importance of the clockmaking technology in development of engineering in the 18th and 19th centuries, the collection of clockmaking technology has been created, in addition to the collection of time-measuring devices, as an independent collection. The collection comprising about 200 items contains the whole range of table clockmaking machine-tools, for instance lathes, cutters and dividing instruments for cog-wheels, special machines, such as rollers, presses for inserting bearing stones, sticks, stamping dies for reducing holes, aids and fixtures for different clockmaking operations (upsetting and embedding holes, drilling-in and polishing journals) and various gauges. In addition to machines and tools, the collection contains also examples of technology of cutting and machining bearing stones, parts of pocket watches and production procedures of some parts, for instance, casings of pocket watches. Precious exhibits are historical clockmaking lathes and cutters from the early 19th century manually driven by means of a bow.
