Horological Meandering

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...

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... 

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

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

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

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 ?
