went to the Patek Philippe museum Wednesday.
FYI: if you're ever in geneva, and you consider yourself a watch nut, you owe it to yourself to go to the Patek Philippe museum. its collection of timepieces, which ranges from the 16th century to today, is unmatched anywhere in the world. three floors of pateks, breguets and hundreds upon hundreds of other masterpieces, including early 19th century automatons that will absolutely blow your mind. (the bird gun may be one of the greatest achievements of design and engineering known to man).
seriously - if you're even close to switzerland, make a side trip. you'll be glad you did! |

I was there in Sept.
My wife and I went to Switzerland for our Honeymoon and she was kind enough to go with me there. Such beautiful amazing pieces of art! Sadly no phones, cameras etc etc. Some GREAT books at very fair prices. I came home with a few book and 200 pens haha The scary thing is the girl was not shocked when I asked for 200 pens

Damn I was afraid you would reply with that . Even our local art gallery requires camera checking, yet when I was at The Louvre, I could snap all the photos I wanted.
