Like cheese and chocolate, Switzerland is known around the world for its premium watchmaking. Here Alana visits two World Heritage listed cities, La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, where she not only learns the history of the Swiss watchmaking industry, but also gets to experience how these intricate devices are made. Alana also delves into the century-old art of wood-craft, which is alive and well in Brienz’s Wood Carving School, where artistry, tradition and the skill of woodcarving meet in a place of deep cultural heritage for the Swiss.
