TOUR

Cie S.A. (Geneva)
WATCH COMPANIES WITH A WOMAN OWNER
Dubey & Schaldenbrand SA (Les Ponts-de-Martel)
Glycine Watch SA (Bienne)
WATCH COMPANIES IN DIRE NEED OF REALITY CHECK--you aren't
pharmaceutical concerns creating life-saving drugs nor are you
defense contractors making the world a safer place. Cut the pompous
attitude.
Breitling SA (Grenchen)
Journe Montres S.A. (Geneva)
POOR RECEPTIONS DUE TO COMPANY LAWYER GETTING INVOLVED-and
they wonder why they (lawyers) are held in such low regard.
Metalor Technolgies
SA (Neuchatel)
Clerc SA (Geneva)
WORST PERFORMANCES BY A COMPANY CEO
Parmigiani Fleurier SA (Fleurier)
Quinting SA (Geneva)
Raymond Weil S.A.(Geneva)
COMPANIES WITH THE FRIENDLIEST RECEPTIONISTS
Titoni SA (Grenchen)-young man and young woman (didn't get their
names)
Zenith International SA (Le Locle) Ms. Taryn Decristophoris
Kolber SA (Geneva) Ms. Simone Schuessler-Widmer & Ms. Alexandra
Sahiti-Herter
Chopard & Cie S.A. (Geneva)--Ms. Gianna Rubino
IWC (International Watch Company) SA (Schaffhausen)-Ms. Beatrice
Rohner
MOST DISAPPOINTING VISITS-I traveled all the way from
the United States to visit these "high-end" names.
Declined to give tour of facility and was dispatched out the
door in less than 10 minutes. Swiss hospitality?
Girard-Perregaux SA (La Chaux-de-Fonds)
Montres Breguet SA (L'Abbaye)
Audemars Piguet & Cie (Le Brassus)
Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre (Le Sentier)
Ebel SA (La Chaux-de-Fonds)
Montblanc Montre SA (Le Locle)
BEST ON-SITE WATCH MUSEUMS
Omega Ltd. (Bienne)
Vacheron Constantin (Geneva)
IWC (International Watch Company) SA (Schaffhausen)
Montres Rolex S.A. (Geneva)
WATCH MUSEUMS I DIDN'T GET TO SEE because they're "by
appointment only" and my contact person was either too lazy
or didn't want to make the effort.
Girard-Perregaux SA (La Chaux-de-Fonds)
Longines (St-Imier)
Audemars Piguet & Cie (Le Brassus)
