Looky what I stumbled across whilst hiking around Biel/Bienne today:

Sorry for the atrocious photo. Oops! I blame it on the store's sub-standard lighting. Laughing

Here's a semi-decent shot of one of my favorites...

The store was closed so, alas, I couldn't fondle them. But, from what I could see through the window, I was pretty darned impressed! Thumbs up! I may just go back for a closer look.. if I can find my way back to the store. Rolling on the floor laughing my a.. off

And I'll leave you with an artsy Anjan-style out-of-focus-on-purpose shot:

No! Really! I was going for the out-of-focus look. Innocent

Cheers!

Nice find Thumbs Up Don't worry about the quality, at least they do not chase you away from >>>
photographing the vitrine like some shops do in Hong Kong. I was taking a picture for a watch friend to confirm it was the watch he wanted, 10 seconds after I took the picture, the shop assistant stood next to me whisking me away... and it was not even a very luxurious watch shop, it was a watch shop chain with mostly PMWFs.

Re: Strange incident in Asia, were intellectual properties are often not regarded very highly
One watch shop in Fribourg took rather keen exception to my shooting photos.

And one other, here in Biel/Bienne was definitely cool on the idea. Smile

But, in general, the Swiss don't seem to have a problem with it...
