At Tysons Corner Mall, there are two notable watch stores: Bailey, Banks and Biddle, and Lenkersdorfer. Both also sell jewelry. Between the two, Lenkersdorfer has the better selection: IWC, Patek, Panerai, Chopard, Jaeger LeCoultre, etc. In my opinion, Lenkersdorfer also has better service. The only two brands that Bailey, Banks and Biddle has not found at Lenkersdorfer are Zenith and Audemars. However, they have very few watches of these two brands.
At Tysons Corner Galleria, you will find Liljenquist & Beckstead. If you only have time to go to one store, go to Liljenquist. They have one store for jewelry and another store entirely devoted to watches. There you will find everything there is at Lenkersdorfer, plus Lange, Girard-Perregaux, etc. They also have the widest selection of watches within each brand. However, don't expect to find any really high-end complications (i.e. minute repeaters, tourbillions, etc.).

There's some sort of exhibition at the Smithsonian's American History Museum. I haven't seen it, but here's a rather fussy web presentation:
Do a general search through the Smithsonian's pages and you'll probably uncover lots of stuff scattered through:
The US Naval Observatory also has tours every other Monday night, which includes the US Master Clock facility. Little known in that part of the tour is a case full of unusual fanciful pocketwatches, on loan the from Smithsonian. There are also now-retired pendulum and telegraph clocks that used to be state of the art timekeeping:
