Hey Guys, so I am travelling in Switzerland for the next two weeks, and would love to get a watch from there.

I know these constraints seem a bit tough, but I would appreciate any help I could get:

My budget is around 1000CHF (1250 USD), and I want a watch you would find it hard/impossible to get outside Switzerland physically. I am avoiding generic names which I can simply get from any watch boutique back home...

I have heard people talking about some respected and known micrbrands who haven't bothered with international distribution and remain independent (I am trying to get something diferent from mido, cetina, doxa, etc..), or to look for Swiss limited editions from popular brands. However, I haven't been able to get concrete brand names or models.

I am quite open when it comes to the type of watch, as these constraints would matter more to me emotionally.

Appreciate you all for your help!!

Hey everyone — I’ll be in Lausanne this summer for about three months working at EPFL (gonna be my first time in Europe!), and I’m trying to get a feel for what people like to do for fun around here.

I’m especially interested in things like climbing (are there any regular groups or meetups?), water sports on the lake, hiking, or anything outdoorsy—but honestly, I’m up for whatever.

If you’ve got favorite activities, clubs, or even just spontaneous group plans, I’d love to hear about them.

Feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM if you’re up for hanging out or letting me tag along!
