Le Brassus and MAAP

Have a trip to Geneva coming up at the end of June.

Hoping to do an excursion to Le Brassus.

Any tips for visiting Le Brassus and the Musee Atelier Audemars Piguet?

While in Geneva, any cool watch shops I should check out, besides the branded boutiques and salons?

Le Brassus and MAAP

Be sure to make early reservations to the AP Tour or Masterclass. Sadly I wasn’t able to book early in advance. I also tried reaching out directly to AP but they couldn’t get me a spot so I skipped going to Le Brassus which was unfortunate.

Spent most of the time in Geneva and went to the Patek Salon and Museum which was great.

In addition to the AP Museum, which is amazing, also try the Espace Horloger in Le Sentier, a short distance from Le Brassus. JLC also has a museum but haven't been.

MasterClass and AP museum are a complete must and looks very good on your profile / journey. No doubt it helps with allocations

That's interesting, I just got back from there. My sales manager knows I went, but I guess I just ask about this?

No need to ask directly imo. As long as they know you went, it says a lot about how interested you are about the brand. Just continue to do your thing, build the relationship, and wait to get the call

Used to be they invited you with expenses paid if you bought a watch, now you have to go on your own and pay them 400quid, let alone stay at their hotel, to be allowed to buy a watch, crazy how the tables have turned there, it’s truly becoming a pilgrimage

Le Brassus and MAAP

Spent a short amount of time there, not much around the town from what I saw. We were on our way from Germany to Geneva and did a detour on the way for several hours. Caught AP house late and had dinner at a restaurant not too far away. Some cute little restaurants my wife really enjoyed but one thing I wish we had done had we planned better was to book a night at the AP hotel.

Yeah, wish we had more time to spend there, specifically in Switzerland. Interlaken is unreal. But we had to get back to our kids and work.

Switzerland - nice country, expensive traffic tickets. Germany on the other hand...

I got camera tickets in both countries, neither seemed awful.
