The sign is located on the site of the Watch Museum, which houses one of the largest collections of watches in Europe.
In the 15th and 16th centuries there was a Jewish garden and later a cemetery. In 1690 the place passed to Ferdinand Marchese de Obizzi and in 1917 the Vienna Clock Museum moved to it.
