Neuchâtel – Land of Watchmaking and Museums

A true reference in Swiss watchmaking, the Canton of Neuchâtel combines tradition, creativity, and innovation. In La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, both listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, the urban landscape tells the story of a craft that has shaped the entire region. Here, watchmaking is not only admired – it’s experienced! Learn the precise gestures of micromechanics with LMEC in the Neuchâtel Mountains, explore the collections of the International Watch Museum and the Watch Museum of Le Locle (Château des Monts), or dive into a contemporary experience in Neuchâtel itself by assembling your own timepiece – for instance at BA111OD.

But Neuchâtel is also a land of culture with many facets, for both young and old. From the archaeological treasures of the Laténium to the artworks at the Museum of Fine Arts in La Chaux-de-Fonds, via the Natural History Museum, MUZOO, Evologia, or the Museum of Art and History of Neuchâtel (MAHN), there are countless places to explore as a family.

Blending craftsmanship, heritage, and emotion, the Neuchâtel region invites you to discover a world where watchmaking and museums come together — uniting precision, art, and curiosity.
