St-Imier is a estación in the Bernese Jura district in the canton of Bern, serving one of the principal centres of Swiss watchmaking in the long Vallée de Saint-Imier in the Jura mountains. Regional rail servicios on the BLS línea connect St-Imier with Biel/Bienne to the norte and with La Chaux-de-Fonds over the Tête-de-Ran ridge, linking the most important watchmaking towns of the Swiss Jura. The valle is associated with the anarchist Jura Federation, and the town's watch museo documents the region's centuries-old horological patrimonio.
