Visit to Laurent Ferrier
I just got back from a vacation trip to Paris, Courchevel, and Geneva. I had an opportunity to visit Laurent Ferrier. It's just outside of Geneva in a quiet suburb area. You would pass right by it if you didn't have the address.

The CEO, Vanessa Monestel personally spent 2 hours with us and gave us a tour of the facility. Got a history lesson on the brand and Mr. Ferrier. We were able to go see the watchmakers at work. We were even given the opportunity to learn how to polish movement pieces by one of the watchmakers.

It was a super cool experience and Vanessa's hospitality was second to none. She even emailed me to follow up on our visit. Apparently, it was only the third time they did such a tour.

They create amazing timepieces and they obviously have a real classy CEO leading the company as well. I wish them nothing but success and look forward to one day ordering a Laurent Ferrier for myself.

Oh wow, looks like an amazing opportunity! I love the brand and would sign up for a tour if it was ever offered to me. How did you get the opportunity?

I'm sure an excellent time.

I really like their watches, consider buying one, have never been able to handle/try one on.

That's very cool. It is always great to be able to tour a watch manufacture when in Geneva.
