Cortébert
Cortébert is a village in the Vallon du St-Imier.
Located in the middle of the valley, Cortébert was primarily an agricultural village. In November 1863 the watchmaking firm Raiguel, Juillard & Cie purchased Jean Weber's mill, located next to the old stone bridge over the Suze river. It was quickly demolished and replaced by a massive 2-story factory building. Still located in the town, the mill had 66 windows on the south side, mirrored on the north, to let in natural light.
The Cortébert Watch company flourished through the turn of the century.
