Musée d'horlogerie du Locle is a watchmaking museum in Le Locle, located slightly outside of the city centre on a hill. In addition to its watch related collections, it also features some Swiss-made mechanical music or bird singing automatons from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Château des Monts, home to the watchmaking museum, was built between 1780 and 1790 on the initiative of Samuel Dubois. The architect was probably the Lausanner Gabriel Delagrange.
