LIke Neil Beard, a previous reviewer expressed it so well, I couldnt agree more with the beauty of the clocks on display, the nice female guide who took ample time for us to see the large collection and at 12:00 hear all the clocks ring their melodies at once. The museum is ca. 15 min walk out of the city center but worth a visit.

I can highly recommend a visit to The Palace of Time museum in Jerez, it's a hidden gem. Although a short walking distance out of the centre no one will be disappointed in taking the guided tour for 6. Locals pay 3. The guided tours operate about every hour, my guide at 11.30am was with me alone but the lady taking me around could not have been nicer. Perfect spoken English, very enthusiastic and fantastic knowledge of the history of the museum history, exhibits and horology in general. It was difficult to believe that some of the clocks were from the 18th (and earlier) century but were still working. As I was alone with the guide just being in the main downstairs area with the sound of the clocks ticking away was amazing. Then at 12.00 noon many of the clocks with chimes rang out...what a sound. The free standing clock as you enter the museum (see photo) was originally from the clock tower in Jerez and was lovingly restored...a tremendous piece. I particularly liked the French sundial clock cannon in my photo. A small amount of gun-powder can be placed in the cannon and the sun's rays focused so that at noon the cannon fires! Tremendous. I also purchased the souvenir guide (sadly only available in Spanish) but for 9 it documents the exhibits. I took many photos of individual clocks as they were being described as each piece is so unique. There is also a collection of walking sticks to see but it was the clocks and pocket watch collection that made my day. Highy recommended.
Didn’t go inside but beautiful garden
Nice and friendly people
Ein Museum zum Staunen, was dort an einzigartigen Uhren und Spazierstöcken zusammengetragen wurde. Der Eintritt von 6 lohnt sich unbedingt. Der Besuch ist immer mit einer Führung verbunden, deshalb diese Zeiten bei einem Besuch vormerken. Auch für Kinder bestens geeignet. Seltene und extrem wertvolle französische und englische Uhren bekannter Werkstätten sind in einer umfassenden Sammlung zu sehen. Die Führung dauert ca. 90 Minuten.
Ligt wat uit de route van de andere te bezoeken plaatsen. Wij hebben dit gecombineerd met bezoek aan de paardenshow. Leuk om even rond te lopen. Normaal met gids maar owv feestdag van de toerist gratis bezoek en zonder gids. Ik zou aanraden er een kijkje te nemen.
Muy recomendable la visita para todas las edades. Es impresionante la colección de relojes que tienen expuestos, es el museo del tiempo más importante de España
Estuve en una excursión de muy pequeño del colegio en el museo de los relojes de Jerez y nunca lo olvidare. Es precioso, con relojes de todas las épocas, es fabuloso y poco conocido para lo maravilloso que es. Tendría que ser conocido en todo el mundo.
