About the museum
The museum goes back to the collector Franz Sklorz. In 1964, after a bet with a clockmaker friend, he built his first clock and began to collect, initially mainly tower clocks. The Sklorz couple lived in the Stuttgart area, got to know Rügen on vacation and bought a house on Putbus's Alleestraße, which still houses the museum today. Sklorz died in 2012; since then, his widow has been leading visitors through the rooms.
Across seven rooms, more than 1,000 exhibits can be seen, including wall, standing, mantel, pocket and wristwatches, cuckoo and Black Forest clocks, sundials and alarm clocks, as well as mechanical music devices and music boxes. The oldest clock dates from the Gothic period; one of the first digital clocks, from around 1910, is also on view. Visitors can also watch a clockmaker at work in the workshop.
