The museum was established in 1993 by Mrs. DUBERNET, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Georges LEMOINE, to promote her parents’ life course.

He was a watchmaker, based in Lorris in 1936. Besides that, he used to do all works that required some precision: ceremonies photographer, "optician" or glasses adjuster, wireless maintenance (Radio) ... etc

She used to manufacture hats in a workshop where she employed an assistant.

After Mrs Dubernet death, the town of Lorris bought the locations and inherited the collections in the museum.

After transformation of the premises, an association of volunteers took over the museum to maintain, enrich and open it to public.

This same association also created the "workshop pendulum", where a group of amateurs restores the exposed objects by practicing the watchmaking techniques and expertise as used by artisans of the last century.
