Fantastic museum that's a must for anyone into watches, art, or even history. The collections on display are kept in wonderful condition, from the old pieces right through to the most recent ones. There's loads to get through, so allow at least half a day. Ideally, clear your schedule to fully enjoy it.

You can easily spend two hours browsing and listening to all the...
