An interesting exhibition of works by former students can be viewed and marveled at on 140 square meters. Competition works are also on display. Since 1994, the ZeitZentrum Uhrmacherschule has participated in competitions of the Institut de Formation à la Haute Horlogerie.
As an illustration, a work of art stands on a small stone base. The clock is about 40 cm high, has a perpetual calendar, date, day of the week and month are displayed, the phases of the moon are visible. 286 parts have been made by hand. Three apprentices have produced this marvel in about 1300 working hours.
Historical replicas also tick in the museum. For example, a tower keeper's clock from the 15th century was made according to an illustration.
