Are the best places for watch shopping in Geneva?
Answer Hi Kylie, I don’t know what the “best” places are for watch shopping in Geneva. Any authorized retailer or reputable jeweler will have knowledgeable staff to help you choose the watch of your choice. I personally would go to Bucherer; I’ve bought stuff from them at their store in Zurich (www.bucherer.com). Bucherer has competent staff and their prices are reasonable given the quality they offer. They have a store in Geneva (26, Quai Gnral Guisan, 1204 Genve, Phone: +41-22-319-6266, Fax: +41-22-319-6262). There are some very nice streets in Geneva which are a must for any shopper: Rue Basses, Rue du Rhone, Rue de la Confdration, Rue du March, Rue de la Croix-d’Or and Rue du Mont-Blanc. Whenever you buy a watch in Switzerland, you should ALWAYS get a manufacturer’s warranty, the original packaging and informational materials. The warranty will be signed and dated at the place of purchase! There’s an excellent web site by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry at www.fhs.ch/en/
