Musée Japy, Industrial heritage museum in Beaucourt, France
The Musée Japy exhibits a collection of watch movements, machinery, hardware, engines, appliances, typewriters, and pumps manufactured in Beaucourt over two centuries.
The museum building started as a small watchmaking workshop in 1773 when Frédéric Japy initiated mass production techniques for watch components.
The museum displays advancements in manufacturing methods through artifacts like the 1912 Yapy typewriter, early watch drafts, and 1880s lustrery items.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 17:00, from March to December, with guided tours available for groups of ten or more.
A personalized astronomical clock created by a factory worker using his own designs stands among the permanent exhibits.
