The museum specialises in faience mantel clocks, which were the first timepieces affordable to everyone and proudly decorating many homes in Belgium and Northern France during the 1920s and 1930s.[1] It is located on the Boulevard Auguste Reyers/Auguste Reyerslaan in an Art Deco house built in 1935 by the architect Gustave Bossuyt.[2][3][4]
