Le Brassus Visit to AP
Been too busy and finally have the time to post some pics from our visit to Le Brassus a couple of weeks ago. We were invited by our boutique to visit and our boutique director hosted us for a couple of days. We stayed at the Hotel des Horlogers, got a private museum tour, and got access to their showroom where we got to handle all the amazing pieces. To say I was a kid in a candy store would be an understatement. Hope you all enjoy the eye candy!

Amazing! Did you get out to see R&D or movement facilities?

Anything surprise you enough to be added to the wishlist?

There was no one favorite. The top 5 would be the JM, QP CE OW, Blue QP CE, BMG Red Jumbo, and White Gold Jumbo OW.

Factory was mostly closed. There were a few watchmakers at work, but nothing crazy. The R&D and complications are done in their factory in Le Cocle, so wouldn't of made a difference. I saw the one and only watchmaker that does the Marvel editions and at work at his desk. I saw another Marvel character on his desk, but I cannot disclose. lol.

I already had the white gold Jumbo OW and the new 15407st on my wishlist. I added the red Jumbo BMG.

It was a cool experience as I got to spend almost 2 hours with the head of R&D in the showroom. I said if I had that box, I wouldn't need another watch. He took the watches out and said I can have the box. Jokingly of course..

What an amazing experience that your boutique invited you to! Your chances to get those desired watches must definitely have increased if they treated you to that VVIP experience and spent so much time discussing feedback for the brand...

Awesome. I need to set this up.

Anyone who has been... would winter or summer be preferred if I'll be sightseeing around Switzerland while there? I do not ski, but do love the snow
