A Trip Overseas Pt 2

A very beautiful museum in the City of Geneva, the Patek Philip Museum, is tightly tucked away between two small buildings and differently colored buildings, some green, some brown.
A truly magnificent museum, though not very grand, it is a must see. It presents watches of all generations, from pocket watches to wall clocks to the very recent wrist watches. Beautifully hand crafted watches with great detail were present in the museum.

Each watch showed the passion with which it was made, and each had its own story to tell.
There were watches made in everything from knifes to mirrors to fans and many more things. There was not a thing that didn't and couldn't have a watch in it!
A very interesting watch was one made in a Pistol which at a certain time would make a noise making a bird spring out which would start to sing. The museum was truly an experience of a life time.

These delicate yet exquisite watches give a very royal and rich feeling!
