We are delighted to open the New Year with a talk by our own Grahame Brooks Hon FBHI on the South London Branch\u2019s \u201cGrand Tour of Switzerland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last May, 18 members including some from Ipswich and Milton Keynes branches left by Swiss flight LX317 to Zurich, in the North East of the country.<\/p>\n

The tour planned by Peter Elliott FBHI, with help from the Swiss Travel Service, visited six museums, one major watch manufacturer and a cable car!<\/p>\n

Travelling by coach and staying in excellent hotels, the group\u2019s tour will be retold by Grahame with digital images showing many of the horological treasures, both antique and modern, they were privileged to see. The tour starting from Zurich in the North East, via Neuchatel and La Chaux-de-Fonds, to Geneva in the South West covered some 350 miles.<\/p>\n
