The neon accent on that wall clock is sweet

In any other country in Europe (yes I know CH is not technically Europe) that clock would have been stolen by now!

Yes it's the former entrance hall of Clariden Leu which then was acquired by Credit Suisse. I used to work in that building. The basement, where the safe deposit boxes used to be, is even more impressive. Fun fact: The people who used to work in the basement got one more week of vacation because they never saw the daylight during their work day. The building is called Leuenhof, you can google it for more info / pictures.

Also wondering why CH would "technically not be Europe"? :-) It's not EU, but definitely Europe.

When did CH leave Europe? Have they moved to Asia?

In Lucerne and Interlaken pre-pandemic it occasionally felt like that.

In this article are some pics of the boutique. It’s worth getting an appointment if you are in town.

They also host very nice events. The boutique manager is French and joined AP from the hospitality industry some years ago and you can tell.

One can’t win any more. If I hadn’t made a reference to the fact that CH was not part of the EU and is in fact EEA someone would have commented. And when I did say it wasn’t part of Europe people make a comment.

I would just refer to my original comment about theft in Europe - it was an attempt at humour.

AP House Zurich.
Was there recently.
They really did a great job with it and the AP folks there are very welcoming as usual.

I visited AP Houses in Barcelona and Madrid, and those looks like nicely done contemporary bachelor pads. This one, as I see from photos on the link posted, have royal palace elements in it... hope my comment is more clear now
