In a few hours I’m heading to Geneva courtesy of the watchmaker Audemars Piguet. The local dealer is sending some of their customers to the main Audemars Piguet headquarters in Switzerland and I was lucky enough to be invited as well. I’m a huge AP fan and I’ve always wanted to visit the Vallée de Joux area (pictured above) where all the prestigious watchmakers are located so this trip should turn out to be amazing.
Once I get there I’ll be getting a local sim card so I could continue to post pictures on Instagram whenever I find anything interesting. As usual you could follow me by adding me on instagram, my username is mark248am or you can check out my pictures with your web browser by clicking [Here]

Wow, that’s amazing.. enjoy and good luck to you..
Hey, Mark
I happen to live there!! so if you need anything feel free to contact me 🙂
hey actually can you recommend places to eat? like the best places in geneva?
Have a great time.
sure thing!
one place I always take my guests is a restaurant called “Le Corail Rose” 10 Rue de Montbrillant – 1201 which is behind the main geneva train station it’s famous for it’s all you can eat Shrimps with garlic sauce and fries all unlimited
but for Swiss cuisine you should try
“les armures”
1, rue Puits-St-Pierre – 1204 Genève
it’s in the old town which is definitively worth a visit
if your after luxurious restaurants there is one called le chat botte in a 5 star hotel it serves french cuisine and has won Michelin star last year
La perle du lac is famous for it’s fillet de perche ( fish lake)
it’s on rue de lausanne 126
it really depends on what you’re after. It is an international city so you’ll find all kinds of restaurants.
i’ve never tried a Michelin star restaurant so if there is a trip to try one it’s this
it’s in a hotel called “beau rivage”
the address is
Quai du Mont-Blanc 13 1201 Geneva
I hope you enjoy it.
enjoy geneva !
how convenient, thats my hotel!
i wonder how much a room service burger costs at a hotel like this hmmm
Oh if you’re a burger fan you should try a sport bar called “the club house” it’s where you will find an English speaking community and it’s also really close to your hotel I think it’s safe to say most of the locals would agree that the have an exceptionally delicious burger menu.
burgers and beer, hard to go wrong with that combo.
+1 😀
Hey Bader, my friend is asking if there are any good contemporary Japanese restaurants in Geneva ala Zuma?
I’m not entirely sure. this one I’ve never tried but seems to be popular among my japanese friends
“uchitomi” it’s apparently as close to the real thing as it gets.
the address is: Rue Ferrier 13, 1202 Genève
You Bastard Guy! lol
😀 currently busy flipping through the Michelin star menu https://www.beau-rivage.ch/uk/index.php#le-chat-botte.php
no burgers on the menu sadly
You are in Geneva for a few days… but Kuwait for the rest of your life… looool
And he’ll have to remain working to have a residency
HA HA HA HA
*evil laughter*
😛
lolol
MashAllah! Have fun!
Hope u enjoy ur time over there 😉 so which AP do u cuttently own?
not sure i want to share that info
Mark you are one of the lucky few.I wish you a safe trip and have a good time
Have a safe trip! Enjoy your stay 🙂
Though I don’t like geneva they have this AMAZING Mexican restaurant with the best freshest sour cream I’ve ever tasted. I’ll get out its name for you.
Oh and across from the lake there is this little ITalian place, maybe the only one with tables over looking the street that overlooks the lake, and the old man there will stand over your head and tsk and complain if he sees your plate not finished quickly. But he has a killer cream of mushroom fettucini thing and he didn’t have to worry about us scraping the dishes. One of the tastiest ever.
I’ll look up that Mexcian name and location for u, maybe with a picture or two…
Have a safe trip MARK. Enjoy it there 😉
Great news ! So do you own an AP purchased from Behbehani…in Kuwait ? or do they just love your blog ? How many customers go with you ?
Yes I do and we’re in total of 10 customers here right now.
Mark – Pls do take some Hi Res HD Qual Wallpaper usable snaps of the beautiful countryside and city , AP atelier’, and put them on a site where we can download and admire them ! The wallpaper of the Tire Scrap is starting to depress me a bit and needs a change !
Enjoy and have a great trip!
Dude. its Swiss. anything you eat there is fab. even department stores like Globus lunch buffet is superb.. even their Mcdonalds food is amazing!
Well it seems like u answered part of the question 😉 so if we want a good deal for one we can come to u right? 🙂
Geneva sucks ass, why go there when it’s clearly the worst city in Switzerland. There’s so much better just a few kilometers away.
