Whereas I agree that Geneva is probably the city to stay in (also Montreux on the other side of the lake is amazing) I would also go to la Chaux-de-Fonds and Biel/Bienne.
La Chaux-de_Fonds has the Musée international d'horlogerie and the Omega Museum is in Bienne.
Both (haven't been to La Chaux-de-Fonds) are very different to Geneva, more like small industrial (as far as small swiss towns can be industrial) towns than international centres, and the whole region is beautiful. Could well be a nice round trip taking in the Watch Valley, might even be fun by train, if you go by train, try to use one of the ships that are part of public transport.

Horological folk,
My fiancée is a watch fancier. For her next birthday I'm hoping to plan a jaunt to take in some good watch things (museums/ factory tours).
Presumably Switzerland is the place to go?
Any recommendations for really great museums?
She particularly likes Rolex and Cartier so may look into those as factory tours if that's a possibility?
I've had a peep and most of the factories appear to be countryside/ smaller town affairs, what city would be the best to be based in to take in a few good stops?
I'm thinking three days so if there were three very good stops which could be tied in together that would be ideal.
Any suggestions?
