Few towns in the Bernese Jura have histories as closely tied to watchmaking as Courtelary. Set in the Vallon de Saint-Imier, it follows the Suze River through a long, narrow Jura valley shaped by woodland slopes and industrial settlements. Watchmaking workshops and related precision trades helped define local life as part of Switzerland’s wider Jura Arc. Courtelary is also associated with the Camille Bloch chocolate factory, where Ragusa, a Swiss chocolate speciality introduced in 1942, is produced.
