le loCle in the 17th

anD 18th Centuries

Imagine the lofty, isolated plateau of the Neuchâtel country-

side, reaching heights of up to 1000 meters. At this period,

the only means of descent from this elevated land to the rest

of the world was by foot or in horse-drawn carts. The climate

was harsh, with severe winters.

Bear, wolf and boar were hunted here. Conditions were tough

and human values were of paramount importance : mutual

support and generosity enabled the first inhabitants to build

their communities.

At this time, the town of Le Locle formed part of the

Principality of Neuchâtel, a territory owned by the Kings of

Prussia, Frederick I, then Frederick-William II.

making in

the 17th anD 18th Centuries

During the 17th century, watch and clock-making was mainly

a French, German and English trade, but at the beginning of

the 18th century it flowered rapidly in Switzerland. As soon as

this new activity was established in Geneva, during the 1700s,

it also took root in the Neuchâtel mountains.

A blacksmith, Daniel Jean Richard (1665-1741) is acknowl-

edged as the founding father of Swiss watchmaking.

It was he who introduced the trade first to La Sagne in 1705,

then to Le Locle.

19HISTORY |

Watchmaking was now well-established and definitively

recognized as a Swiss occupation. It enabled the mountain

dwellers and peasants to glimpse a better way of life.

the story oF a brilliant

WatChmaker

Watchmaking as a profession had been established in Le Locle

for 30 years when Abraham-Louis Perrelet was born there on

January 9th 1729.

His father, Daniel Perrelet, was both a farmer and a carpen-

ter. During the long winters in the Neuchâtel mountains, he

made tools, including some extremely fine ones intended for

watchmakers. Like any deprived child of the period, Abraham-

Louis made himself useful, helping his parents in the fields

and in the workshop.

At the age of 20, seeing that watchmaking was increasing

in scale in the Neuchâtel mountains, he gave up his humble

work to commit himself fully to this fascinating new craft.

The first problem he encountered was the lack of proper

tools. He set himself the task of overcoming this deficiency

by designing and producing a number of tools himself, such

as the planter or the rounding tool.

He invented, developed and refined a series of new combina-

tions to improve the performance of timepieces.

He was, for example, the first person in Le Locle to make

watches with cylinder and duplex escapements, date and

equation. Despite his youth, he built himself a solid reputa-

tion, and he was widely consulted as an expert.
