Thank you for sharing such an uplifting photo journal of your trip 👌🏼

So in comparison to other major cities where everyone is saying “be careful about wearing your watch in public due to crime rates,” Geneva looks to be a notable exception…is that true, or is it also dangerous like other cities?

Geneva

We just returned from Geneva, among other places. While we stayed with family for most of our time in Geneva, the last evening of our trip we stayed in the Mandarin Oriental, which was quite nice: After nearly two weeks in Airbnb, it was very nice to be a...

Hugely appreciate your report!

Had my family not moved to California when I was a newborn, I think I would have most likely moved to Switzerland by myself . Geneva is absolutely gorgeous, your 'slice of life' pictures are excellent. As far as independents go, my favorite is still Stepa...

It seems that you had a sublime moment in Geneva. The M.O is one of my favorite hotel. As for watches, you might sleep a bit on it, and digest a bit all these superb creations.

Thanks for an interesting report from this great city -- too bad you didn't have a chance to visit the Museum, but glad you were shown some very nice timepieces, some of those movements are gorgeous! Happy you had a great time! ;-)

Have been to Geneva twice and yes it is a very clean city, I went to Montblanc twice as well but was never able to make it to the summit due to weather. Some fine watches you got to see, it is always a different experience seeing them in person vs. photos...

I didn’t go to the summit of MB…

But still got some great skiing in . Unfortunately, had to start from the Italian side but skinned up to the French side. ...

That’s awesome!!

We loved our time in Chamonix, but were only on foot and going up the lift. The skiing must have been amazing!

Aiguille du Midi?

By: amanico : March 7th, 2022-06:58

Yes, I’ll make it up there someday

The glass bottomed viewing pod looks so cool. Unfortunately it’s been too windy both times I was there.

Yes, it has to be done.

So, this was the Skyway, from the Monte Bianco side

By: JoshTheCanadian : March 7th, 2022-16:36

But I was able to skin up to the bottom of the AdM arrete, and ski from the French side (specifically, the Grand Envers du Plan).

That's a magic and very impressive place.

Thank you for the amazing review! I liked to discover the LUDOVIC BALLOUARD

By: christianch : March 7th, 2022-14:24

which is very interesting!! Unfortunately as soon as I investigated the price I saw that it is really on the high side for me...Perhaps the Salon would give a good deal ?! Which would you go for ?
