C’est génial. Je n’aurais jamais cru de pouvoir plonger tellement profondément dans la conception et fabrication d’une montre. Zenith et son historie a une toute autre image maintenant. Merci beaucoup. Le parcours est fait très soigneusement et le mix entre musée et visite dès lieu de travail est parfait.

C'est une offre touristique originale au cœur du tissu économique neuchâtelois de réputation internationale. La guide connaissait bien son sujet et transmettait sa passion. Bravo et merci pour cette belle expérience. Petit bémol: La présentation des montres à la fin de la visite était trop longue et détaillée.
