Known world-wide for their watches, the cradle of Swiss watch industry is in Geneva, and it is there that you can still find one exclusive watch shop after the other.
So I cycled to the old part of Geneva and parked the bike and started walking down the Rue du Rhone - named after the river that, close by, runs down the Lac Leman, better known as Lake Geneva. Right away, I passed one watch shop after the other. Gold, silver, transparent, with diamonds and even fur, large and tiny: I saw watches in all appearances. Sometimes a window had lots of watches on display, but other times an entire window was dedicated to just one masterpiece. Some watches were absolutely horrendous to my taste, but others looked very attractive and true pieces of jewellery. They were all on display in windows that were made very attractive by their owners, in which the watches were often presented as true jewels and pride, in what sometimes looked like an artistic environment.
