It is unusual. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) awarded the world heritage status to two industrial cities from Switzerland. It is unusual because many see in this status the recognition of ancient beauty, rather than industrial dynamism. The towns of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle are accidental. Their history is based on a single industry, watch-making, which shaped their planning and architecture, in a region where, for climatic reasons, nothing else could have been done.

Watch-making began and developed there during the 17th and 18th century. During the long winters of the Jura mountains, at an altitude of about a 1000 meters, peasants began to create and build watches. In 1794, a great fire destructed La Chaux-de-Fonds. Autorities decided to carefully plan the rebuilding to accomodate the watch-making industry, which was already predominant at the time. For the next two centuries, the two cities florished along with their main industry.

According to the UNESCO, the cities are recognized because they present "outstanding examples of mono-industrial manufacturing-towns which are well preserved and still active." In Das Kapital, Karl Marx described La Chaux-de-Fonds as a "huge factory-town". And there was born and studied Le Corbusier, who left few buildings in the town, but was greatly inspired by its planning and architecture.

The world heritage comittee holds his 33rd meeting between the 22nd and 30th of June 2009 in Sevilla, Spain.
