Loving this area of Switzerland. Today we will explore the town of Lucerne and then tomorrow we are off to Lutterbruden

Wow, nice place! Will Andrea let you cruise into some watch boutiques? That could be dangerous!

Ahh…Skiing Swiss-style in bibs & Carhartt - can it ever get better.

Corny crusty snow calls for zen-like long radius glides among the Alps.

Hope your whole family enjoy the trip - speaking of which, who are the elders with your wife in the photo? Family?

We just got back from Bucherer … crazy assortment of display pieces which was fun. Got to try on the YM Ti … nice watch but not my taste . Lots of CPO watches too.

That wait list for BLRO and Daytona … 7 years

Today we made our way to Piz Gloria at the top of Schilthorn.

We had just an amazing time! The brunch was delicious and the views spectacular!

That view is at once spectacular and quite humbling to imagine the forces of nature that formed the White Spider and its sister, the Goddess. Beautiful!

I hear you Paul. There was something almost spiritual about it. It certainly made me feel very “small” if that makes sense.

I’m not sure if this video will work …

They call it the thrill walk, where you can walk around the exterior of Piz Gloria where James Bond was filmed.

Ava and I did the walk while Andrea and Becks decided to hang back.
