La Chaux-de-Fonds is a significant city located in the Canton of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, situated at an altitude of around 1,000 meters in the Jura Mountains. The city is renowned for its unique urban planning and architecture, which earned it UNESCO World Heritage status along with neighboring Le Locle in 2009. The city's development was historically shaped by its watchmaking industry, which began in the 18th century and continues to influence its identity today.
After a devastating fire in 1794, La Chaux-de-Fonds was rebuilt following a distinctive grid pattern designed to maximize natural light for watchmakers, creating a rare example of a single-industry manufacturing town from the modern era. The city's cultural landscape is marked by its rich industrial heritage, numerous museums, and art nouveau influences, particularly visible in its architecture and decorative elements. The birthplace of architect Le Corbusier and home to various cultural institutions, La Chaux-de-Fonds maintains a strong connection between its industrial past and cultural present.
