Swiss Watch Tours

The advancement of technology in Swiss watch making is often staggering to me ! For example combining a certain percentage of gold with carbon makes the material harder and unlikely to scratch when used on a watch case for example. And yet it still shines like gold ! Perfect for cases for example. We saw that yesterday on a manufacturing watch tour with a detailed explanation.

Taking watch enthusiasts and collectors to see the "where and how" of watch manufacturing is our primary business. We do this with various tours such as the Day Tour. It's by having exclusive access to the top makers which gives us a unique tour operation.
For 2017 we will start the year with an organised visit to the (normally closed to the public) SIHH in Geneva.
The launch pad for new, innovative and beautiful time pieces it will be available for just a few on a Swiss watch tour.

The Day Tour is our most popular watch tour when we take visitors exclusively to see the "where & how" of fine mechanical watch making. Do you think a half day tour would be popular focusing just on the manufacturer with full insight into the process?

Most of the watch tours we conduct are to just one manufacturer on (for example) a Day Tour. A minimum of two, maximum of four visitors. Now imagine if you could visit FOUR on just one day, yes just one day in November !

The result of the EU Referendum has disrupted the financial markets, exchange rates etc. In Switzerland they have endured the "peg" being taken off the Swiss Franc v the Euro making exports more expensive. The loss of Russia, China etc as markets has affected their business hugely so post "Brexit" is this a good time to buy an expensive watch here ? An absolute "Yes"! Is it a good time to book a watch tour to see and hear about how these fabulous watches are made? Another "Yes"! Will I be able to buy with a discount if I am on a tour - we'll what do you think? !!!
