Video Tour of The Canadian Clock Museum

The Canadian Clock Museum, Canada's only clock museum, is located in the town of Deep River two hours northwest of Ottawa in eastern Ontario.

This unique museum opened in May of 2000 to showcase Canadian-made and Canadiana clocks from the early 1800s to the present time.

The museum's web site provides the histories of many companies and several Galleries with hundreds of pictures of clocks in the various collections. More than four hundred are on display in the Exhibit Room.

There are large collections of clocks made by The Arthur Pequegnat Clock Company (Berlin/Kitchener, Ontario 1904-1941), Harry Snider's two Toronto-based companies (1950-1976), and Westclox Canada (Peterborough, Ontario 1920-mid 1980s). Do you remember those old Big Ben alarm clocks??

Questions are welcomed through the museum's web site at www.canclockmuseum.ca.

Nick...I didn't know you were a film producer and expert narrator ! Heard you have a nutcase clockmaker working in a cage in the cellar at the museum. What do you feed him? Wheels, pinions and mainsprings?

I want that blue Cubette clock at 1:45.
