Over a period of almost 35 years, Nawab Mir Yusuf Ali Khan Salar Jung III invested a huge sum of money for this largest one-man collection of the world. Although the collection has a wide variety of artefacts dating as early as the 1st century; we would cover the amazing clock collection alone here.

The Salar Jung Museum in Hyderabad has a variety of clocks on display. From ancients Sun-Dials to modern clocks of the twentieth century each clock in the collection is a masterpiece in itself.

It has an array of collection with miniature models, glass based, obelisk, tower and made in many other shapes, sizes and materials.

These clocks were collected from different European countries such as England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and more. Varieties such as the Bracket clock, Bird cage clocks, Grandfathers clocks, skeleton clocks etc are on display at the Salar Jung Museum.

The most notable among which is the Musical Clock; an English Bracket Clock from the 19th century. It attracts a number of visitors every day. This mechanical clock is said to have over 350 working parts. You can see the huge crowd gathering to see the timekeeper emerging from the upper deck of the clock to strike a gong every hour in the video. This amazing feat of 19th-century engineering was bought from Cook and Kelvey of England by Salar Jung III.
