Le Locle, 10 December 2022. The city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, known as the city of watchmakers, has inaugurated a work of art in the form of a clock on the square in front of its train station.

 As the birthplace of the world's watchmaking industry, the region of Neuchâtel has brought us some of the greatest watchmaking brands and is famous for its age-old know-how. Nestled in the region’s mountains, the legendary watchmaking towns of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

It was in the town of Le Locle that the Tissot brand was founded in 1853 and where its headquarters are still located. With almost 170 years of expertise, the brand is an integral cog of Swiss watchmaking and enjoys international renown. Nevertheless, the watchmaker remains very attached to its roots and is an active participant in the life of its region. With this in mind, Tissot proudly presented the city of La Chaux-de-Fonds with this clock, which bears witness to the region’s rich expertise.
