this part will show the German Watch Museum, opened since May 2008. There is 1000 m2 filled with over 400 exhibits. The museum is within a 3 minute walk from the Manufacture and you can find here pocket watches, wristwatches, pendulum clocks, escapement models and of course a beautiful exhibition about the history and how it all started. The museum had Ten thousands of guests already and an absolutely must do when you visit Saxony. I will try to give you a virtual tour by showing you a few pics. the entrance 
Immediately after entering the museum you'll see THE highlight:
