The Karl Gebhardt Horological Collection with its unique exhibits shows the development of the portable timepieces – pocket watches and wrist watches – from the end of the Middle Ages to the present.
With about 1,000 items it is one of the major collections of this type and impressively emphasizes the significant role played by Nuremberg and Southern Germany in the manufacture of timekeepers.
In February 2012, Karl Gebhardt explained on Bavarian Radio how the collection came about and what the visitor to the NÜRNBERGER Akademie can expect. The radio portrait of this passionate clock enthusiast is available here.
