Did you know ? The 24 hours of time is an original idea of France Bleu Besançon!
It was in 2014 that France Bleu Besançon, in partnership with the French Society of Microtechnology and Chronometry and the City of Besançon, created this event.
Grand Besançon Métropole has been coordinating it since 2019.
Give yourself time from time to time!
Professionals and amateurs come to meet you to share their passion with you: that of watchmaking.
Watch brands, designers, schools and training organizations exhibit their collections, offer entertainment around the workbench and fun workshops for young and old.
Between workshops, guided tours, Bourse Horlogère, auction and conferences, June 18 and 19, are a veritable nest of knowledge and entertainment.

A new edition full of unexpected moments!
This edition is punctuated by the presence of the Campus des Métiers d’Art et de la Maroquinerie, a new watchmaking and conferences around the Time of the Imaginary which make you discover the magic of mechanisms.
That’s not all ! This meeting is also that of the official reopening of the Museum of Time.
France Bleu Besançon makes you pass the time!
1 month before the big leap in time, France Bleu Besançon tells you every morning, at 9:05, in Côté Culture, stories and anecdotes about watchmaking.
Let yourself be carried away by the voice of Jean-Marc Loiseau, a watchmaking enthusiast. Former seller and repairer of old watches for years in the rue Battant, he also carried out extensive research on the history of watchmaking in France and other countries (Spain, England, Switzerland of course, but also Cuba , the USA and the former French colonies, etc.). Who better than him to make the past shine?
