More than a museum, Espace Horloger 2012 will continue to talk about the art of watchmaking in La Vallée de Joux.  It will also become a platform for the skill and expertise of watchmaking and its many professions.  As the only museum of its kind in the canton of Vaud that is open to the public, it guards the heritage of an entire region.
