There is no better place for watch connoisseurs to get immersed in watchmaking than the birthplace of horology—and no better way to plan the journey than with Scott Dunn Private.

A Week In Switzerland

ANY WATCH AFICIONADO would have been asked this at some point of their watch collecting journey: “What is your grail watch?” While seemingly straightforward, the depths of this question are profound and complex. A grail watch transcends aesthetics. It must resonate on a visceral level, captivating both the heart and spirit. It must also radiate an allure that speaks to the eye, dimensions that agree with one’s personal style, and be endowed with craft that satisfies the intellect. This timepiece mirrors one’s essence and aspirations. And where better to explore the question than in the country where watchmaking began?

A jaunt through Switzerland with Scott Dunn Private is no ordinary journey. The expert team of bespoke travel specialists will ensure that every second spent in the country is imbued with horological significance, offering you a unique window into everything that is spectacular and, sometimes, secretive about the realm of horology. As part of Scott Dunn Private’s invitation-only community of travellers, you will be assigned your very own dedicated private relationship manager, who will be in consultation with you every step of the way to tailor the journey with precision and care. From the verdant expanse of the Jura mountains, where centuriesold watchmaking houses still operate, to the serene shores of Lake Geneva dotted with exclusive flagship boutiques, Scott Dunn Private invites you on a personalised odyssey through Switzerland’s watchmaking sanctuaries, where you cannot but help to be intimately acquainted with the art of watchmaking.
