Believe it or not, Switzerland isn't just all Rolex and Patek and hot chocolate. It's also where some of the most inspiring independents are building watches you've probably (definitely) never heard of. Here, heritage meets new-school, often in the same case. (Don't sleep on the quartz brands here, either. They've got watch-making DNA in their blood all the same.)
