Family evening
The most beautiful and cozy event of the "Freunde alter Uhrmacherkunst e. V." is our family evening. Time to meet old acquaintances and friends again. Nobody has to stay at home, call the museum, we are looking for someone who can take you.
This year we will meet on Saturday, October 12, 2024 from 6 p.m. at the fruit and horticultural club above the museum.
The Saarland Watch Museum's watch fair has been taking place regularly for 30 years. As usual, around 30 dealers will be present. Because of its proximity to France, dealers from the “Grand-Est” also take part. Our traditional bistro on the upper floor of the museum will take care of your hunger. In addition to visiting the stock exchange, you can also visit the museum. The sale starts at 11 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. Entry costs €5, reduced €2.50. Families with children receive a discount.
Our 37th watch fair will take place on Sunday November 10th, 2024.
