La Chaux-de-Fonds

 

La Chaux-de-Fonds is a very interesting town with several nice museums, not just the MIH which is mandatory, of course, and some great examples of art deco architecture.

There is also a watch museum in Le Locle which is about 15 minutes away by car (Ulysse Nardin, Claret, etc. too).  I don't think there is much to see in Les Bois yet as Müller only recently started preparing to move part of their production there.  But you can certainly go to Watchland. Geneva is I would quess only one and 3/4 hours from La Chaux-de-Fonds by car or train.  Except for IWC you have almost the entire Swiss watch industry in the area, so make your choice.
What else do you have in your collection?
Pictures?
(Remember your snow boots in January, La Chaux-de-Fonds has lots of snow most years, they measure in meters, not centimeters)
