Abstract
The first years of the twentieth century saw some different efforts around Europe towards new trials on teaching processes in order to join art and industrial production. Art should increase the value of products and it would be a way to impact the social economy. Some countries developed very successful experiences. Some others didn’t. L’École d’Art at La Chaux-de-Fonds was a pioneer in making some changes to recover its economy based in watches fabrication. Different aspects make these changes and the events around them interesting to the study.
