The Coventry Watch Museum Project consists of a group of Coventrians who are seeking to inform people about the history of watchmaking which was so important to the industrial development of the city.
In the short term, the group tries to preserve artefacts and buildings and to carry out historical research. The group's long term aim is to see a working museum established where watches and tools would be displayed together with photographs of people, buildings and maps of the areas in which the work took place. There would also be the opportunity to see a watchmaker carrying out repairs and making replacement parts.
Recent surveys have shown that the citizens of Coventry believe that a heritage museum would be a valuable asset to the city.
