Beside famous brands,any local hand made watchmakers in Swiss ?

I mean,if you go to Italy there are many shoemakers that you dont even heard about them but they are charging you more than 1000k for a pair.
Are there also small but high end watchmakers in switzerland doing custom made watches ?

Just a guess, but I would imagine that watchmaking, especially in Switzerland, is far more visible than shoemaking, even in Italy. And just another guess, but I believe it takes far more time, skill, and cost to craft a watch entirely by hand compared to shoes, so any watchmaker successful enough to be capable of this is probably already well known.

I know that it is not as simple as a shoemaker but it started like that and I was wondering if there are still small places doing it
