In the Bienne region, you can find on 25 kilometer stretch:
Longines in Saint-Imier, Omega in Bienne and Fortis in Grenchen...
Otherwise Geneva... lots of musea (e.g. Patek Philippe) and the old town with cosy watch shops 👍

Go Broncos... there are no shortage of watch museums in Switzerland and it's a beautiful country. My brother in law and his wife (she's from Barcelona) lived there for over a decade in Geneva and my wife and I visited.
All I can advise is... check to see if any of the museums require advance reservations, etc. I know Patek Philippe did back in the day, and usually it was backed up a couple of weeks. Things may have changed, but, check, just in case.
Have a great trip!

if traveling near Schafhausen, then a visit to the IWC museum is a must...

Not strictly wristwatches but I definitely recommend the fabulous Uhrenmuseum! It's in the basement of the Beyer watch store in Zurich.
