The Watchmaking

Le Locle – Generations of Swiss Tradition

At Montblanc watches are manufactured 1,000 metres above sea level in the mountains of the Swiss Jura, far away from the bustle and noise of city life. Even though this is the home of time, time here seems to stand still: Le Locle is the birthplace of traditional Swiss watchmaking and has been home to the world’s finest watchmakers for centuries.

Le Locle is also the home of Montblanc Montre S.A. All timepieces are born in a picturesque art nouveau villa, which was built in 1906, the same year the cornerstone for the company Montblanc was placed.
