    It was early morning so a little Continental breakfast at the boutique ;-))

    I am not usually a fan of 2-tone watches but just had to see this one.

    It is simply stunning with great weight due to the RG component, just loved it!!!!

    What do you think?

    I took the train to Bern for a ameeting:

    And ended up in Zurich, well Kloten to be more exact, next to the airport.

    I never made it to the city!

    This is the home of the Kloten Flyers hockey team and this display is made entirely out of regular sized hockey pucks, wow!

    i28.photobucket.com/albums/c236/nad1/Swiss%20Sept%202011/Sept%202016/L1040029.jpg

    Had a chance for a great dinner before the game. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area!!!!!

    Nad! Great to read your travelogue...

    Would you like some steak with you truffle?

    I like that Ingenieur Perpetual Digi-Date-Mo. It looks amazing.

    Great report, Nad, nice to see you back! The watch you showed is fantastic, I saw it at GTG Amsterdam, it changed my opinion on some mixte watches. As for the food, well, it is quality over quantity, it makes me like a Cordon Bleu as a side dish!

    Kind regards,
    Paul

    Nice report as usual Nad. I love your foodie pics. I'll bet that meal cost a fortune and you were still hungry when you walked out. LOL

    Terrific photos Nad; I do love the details;)

    Enjoyed your report.
    To me it looks more like truffles with steak than the other way around ;-)
    And the wine...Il Pino... really good choice!

    Cheers Chris

    NAD! Great to see you 'back' with another fantastic travelogue/watch-o-logue/food-o-logue report (this is most probably not proper english....).

    Thanks for sharing my friend !

    Kind regards,

    Hear, hear!

    And Nad, that Ingenieur PDDM looks like it has your name all over it - take it from me, I can highly recommend it ;-)
