Private events. Every last Wednesday of each month, ProWatCH and its Founding President the independent journalist Joël A. Grandjean organize a very exclusive Watch Café from 07h50 to 10h10. The event is attended by a range of influential figures: prominent journalists (television, other media), influencers, watchmakers, motorists, co-contractors, suppliers, brands and distributors, organizers of watch shows, historians, collectors, enthusiasts, communicators, politicians, bankers... At the heart of this 'Watch Atmosphere', news and trends are discussed, often before they are published in news headlines.

Only on invitation. "The 40th Watch Café was in September 2020.

JSH®, independent media: renowned journalists & experts (TàG Press +41, News Agency). Opinion, watchmaking culture, history, discoveries, portraits, training, transmission of knowledge, Echos des Fabriques...

Coming back soon?

Since its birth in July 2006, the ProWatCH non-profit association has transformed the first watchmaking blog into an independent media reference for specialized journalists and industry players: short, dense texts, resolutely devoid of images. Opinions, pure information, neither complacency nor empty words. Hacked several times before watch shows, its 1741 articles remain true and sometimes disturbing testimonies of recent watchmaking history.

As a local and federal politician, he built the An-Neuf district (now called Le Progrès), to which Le Locle owes its admission to Unesco. His production is estimated at about 150 pieces.
