Day Tour

You will be taken in a luxury, air-conditioned 4 x 4 Sports utility vehicle (SUV) to see and experience actual watch making.

For many, this is a new and fascinating experience and one which was not usually available to visitors.

Availability

Usually, all year except for three to four weeks in July and August, when some factories are mandated to shut down. This can often be overcome using our local knowledge, although at least two days' notice is required.

Visits are for two to four people and are conducted in English and French. German, Chinese etc can be provided at extra cost.

The City of La Chaux-de-Fonds is world famous for its watchmaking and the clock museum.

The SUV car is a brand new Honda CR-V Four Wheel Drive car, with leather upholstery, two sun roofs for maximum viewing of the famous names in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In winter, the vehicle has winter tyres fitted for the snow.
