From the famous Flower Clock to less well-known but equally symbolic sites, you will discover a savoir-faire unique in the world. And of course, your tour offers plentiful window shopping along the famous Rue du Rhône, with its countless boutiques representing the world’s greatest watchmakers.
Franck Muller Watchland
At the end of your watch making tour, get a taxi reach a special artisanal watchmaker just five miles outside Geneva. Get a tour at the Franck Muller Watchland where all the production steps are done in-house and look over the shoulder of the watchmakers. Franck Muller is known as “the world's most complicated watchmaker”. The most complicated watch of them all has 1483 parts. Superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo wear his watches and you can also get your personalized watch made there. Select from a variety of different cases, movements, and other components. You can even match the color of your car to the movement inside your watch so you will end up with a masterpiece that is one of a kind.
Guided Tour of the Patek Philippe Museum
On Saturday afternoons, benefit from the knowledge of a guide to discover 500 years of watchmaking history. The magnificent watchmaking and enamelware collections of Swiss, Genevan, and European origins date from the 16th to the 20th century. This and more await you at the Patek Philippe Museum.
Geneva’s Chocolates
Geneva is known for their traditional chocolate makers, one of them dating back to 1826, preserving the memory of almost two hundred years of original recipes, each one telling a story refined over time. Unlike big Swiss chocolate producers, Geneva’s artisanal chocolatiers do each step of the chocolate-making process, from the selection of raw materials to the finished product themselves, and work in the purest Swiss tradition.
Explore the chocolatiers on your own, flavor-filled journey with a special chocolate pass that grants you access to seven chocolate makers who work in the purest Swiss tradition. At each shop, there is a selection of hand-made Chocolate of the highest quality waiting for you to taste. Enjoy the specialties of each master chocolatier, some of them awarded with multiple prizes, such as Swiss Champion at the Swiss Bakery Trophy or the Grand Prix du Chocolat Artisanal. Once you visit the first chocolatier, a 24-hour time window opens and then it is completely up to you how many of the seven chocolatiers you want to visit.
