Neuchâtel, Land of Watchmaking
An essential reference in Swiss watchmaking, the Canton of Neuchâtel invites you to discover a unique expertise that combines tradition, creativity and innovation. In La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, watchmaking urbanism tells the story of an art that has shaped the region, from the Jura mountains to the lakeshore. And here, watchmaking is not only admired: it is lived!
With nearly thirty different experiences, everyone can step behind the scenes of this fascinating world. Learn the precise gestures of micromechanics at LMEC, where you’ll understand how a mechanical watch works and feel the emotions of a true watchmaker. Immerse yourself in the BA111OD adventure by assembling your own timepiece before enjoying an exclusive lunch. Discover the history of pioneers at the International Watch Museum (MIH, soon closed for renovation) or at the Musée d’Horlogerie du Locle (Château des Monts), explore unique collections, and meet contemporary creators who are reinventing the art of watchmaking.
These experiences, accessible to both enthusiasts and the curious, offer a rare and authentic immersion into a living heritage. They allow you to touch, experiment and experience watchmaking like never before, in a region where every detail, every mechanism, and every innovation tells a story.
In Neuchâtel, watchmaking is an invitation: to discover, to understand, to create.
