The City of Time
The city of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, is the time capital of the world. Nestled in the Jura mountains, the area is known as "Watch Valley" and boasts some of the most highly-regarded — and highly expensive — watchmakers on the planet. Companies like Rolex, Patek Phiippe, and Tissot are headquartered here along with a complementary number of professionals dedicated to the intricacies of watchmaking. From the International Museum of Horology to a small shop specializing in restoration, La Chaux-de-Fonds keeps time like no other place on Earth.
