International Festival of Time 2025
Join the ‘Masters’ of the watchmaking world for the 2025 International Festival of Time!
There is no better location for showcasing handcrafted artisanal haute horlogerie than Waterford, home to the only museum dedicated to watches and clocks in Ireland. This city is just a short distance from New Geneva, where Genevan watchmakers began their craft in 1783. Had this venture succeeded, it could have profoundly changed the industrial history of Ireland.
The festival will feature talks on horology and timekeeping.
Tickets offer admission to all Festival of Time scheduled events, in addition to entry to both our Medieval Museum, and Irish Museum of Time.
