Today’s students can often be complaining that it is difficult to read the clocks in grandparents’ homes. Digital is the wave of the future and what the younger generation know. The Southwest Museum of Clocks and Watches is dedicated to preserving the beauty of the horological arts. Not only does the museum contain some beautiful clock and watch masterpieces, but there is also a hands-on restoration center to visit. Some timepieces are over 300 years old from around the world. An education center teaches the younger generations about horological appreciation, while the Tower Clock Initiative has members restoring and maintaining clock towers around Texas.
