====== JeanRichard, Daniel ======
**Daniel JeanRichard (1664-1741)** was a Swiss watchmaker.

In [[1705]] Daniel Jean Richard moved from La Sagne to [[Le Locle]] and founded the watch industry in the Swiss canton [[Neuchâtel]] as one of today's most important economic sectors of the country. In his memory, a monument was built in [[Le Locle]]. It is located next to the today's post office and recalls his merits.

Today, the watch manufacturer [[Daniel JeanRichard]] (now [[JeanRichard]]), owned by [[Girard-Perregaux]], bears his name.
