    I have some work-related travel that will take me to Switzerland the second week in May. Our travel plans will allow a Friday night stay very close to Biel/Bienne - actually, we'll be staying about a 45-minute ride to the Omega museum. Any other suggestions what to see/do in the area from anyone around here who have visited the museum?

    I've never been but intending to do a trip to there later in the year, from the pics it looks like something I could spend hours doing.

    Got one item in the bucket list out of the way, visited the Omega museum last May and it was a fantastic experience!
    :thumbsup: In a couple of months, phase two of the original work project takes me back no too far from the Omega neighborhood, this time will hit another watch museum :)

    Having bought myself an IWC in 2014, a visit to Schaffhausen is on my list too. However the swiss franc revaluation (or whatever it's called) may make it a very short trip!

    Uber-cool. I'm not heading to Switzerland anytime soon - I went only once so far, with my dad on one of his business trips when I was 10 - but my copy of the Journey Through Time book should arrive today, courtesy of Darren. (Should have gotten it yesterday, except for the snow.) A nice consolation prize.

    I'd love to go sometime, as well as to the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart. Apparently Rolex has no public museum ... typical of their secretive nature. Kind of like the Kremlin during the Cold War, in a way.

    My goal one day is to build a museum that rivals their own :p
