In the blink of an eye, Ning Yan arrived in Switzerland, and it was the fourth day.

The day after being searched by sand sculpture netizens, Ning Yan first went to Patek Philippe.

This brand can be listed separately to become a tiered brand.

From museums to factories, what Ning Yan is presented with is a kind of sophistication that is different.

As the saying goes:

"No one can own Patek Philippe, just keep it for the next generation. ”

Patek Philippe has always maintained an annual production capacity of about 50,000 watches.

For Ning Yan's arrival, Patek Philippe's senior management expressed a great welcome.

Politeness, courtesy, flowers, and applause are no different from labor factories and European factories.

Similarly, all areas are open to Ning Yan.

However, Ning Yan did not leave any more mark, but accepted a special watch presented by the CEO of Patek Philippe: the 5002 prototype......

"What's the schedule for the afternoon?"

It was still early to leave Patek Philippe, and in the car, Yan Zhi asked.

The next three factories are located near the Vallée de Joux, and are all within 50 to 65 kilometers of the city.

Hearing Yan Zhi ask, Ning Yan's heart moved: "It's just past 11 o'clock now, why don't we go directly to the Valley of the Joux?"

The Vallée de Joux is not too far from Geneva, and it can be reached in about forty-five minutes, including possible congestion.

I was able to catch lunch.

Yan Zhi thought for a moment and agreed.

As you move away from the city of Geneva, the scenery on both sides of the road begins to change.

Until the scenery becomes lush.

It's no surprise that the Vallée de Joux is one of Geneva's attractions.

Coupled with the local customs, the number of low-rise European-style buildings on both sides of the road began to increase.

Yan Zhi said that there may be inconspicuous small houses on both sides of the road, which is an independent watchmaking factory......

Eventually, Ning Yan had lunch in the city near the Vallée de Joux and in the afternoon went to visit Breguet's factory.

The same is true at Le Brassus.

"Breguet is also a sub-brand of the Swatch Group. ”

While visiting, Yan Zhi whispered some details that would not be highlighted by Breguet.

"In the early years, he was committed to providing works for members of the royal family and prominent figures in various fields. ”

Ning Yan nodded from time to time.

He also learned about Breguet's rich history from the CEO of Breguet.

Breguet is known as the father of modern watchmaking, inventing more than 70% of the industry's technology.

Three traditional watchmaking techniques come from Breguet.

Breguet's CEO proudly said to Ning Yan: "All the mechanical watches in the world, if you take away the part that belongs to Breguet's intellectual property, it will not work properly!"

“......”

Ning Yan almost was a 666.

Although Breguet has now become a sub-brand of the group, its independent attributes are gradually disappearing.

But in the mouth of the CEO of Breguet, and even in the mouth of any watchmaker, you can hear the admiration for Mr. Breguet.

Many of Mr. Breguet's inventions had a profound impact on the development of watchmaking technology.

“...... Breguet's classic tourbillon mechanism ......"

“......”

When he left the Breguet factory, Ning Yan had an extra Breguet classic.

It is also a special model, but it also has unique attributes.

This made Ning Yan say with some hesitation after sitting on the big red flag: "I feel that I didn't come here to visit, but to collect special watches?"

"On this trip, the value of these watches alone has to exceed 10 million yuan. ”

"I don't know what they're trying to do. ”

Yan Zhi pouted and said: "You are rich, you are rich for three generations, and you are high-ranked." ”

"Don't you know that the most beautiful boy in the whole Gai is you?"

This is really not true at all.

First of all, Ning Yan's car is very special.

Not to mention in Switzerland, there are few cars that cannot be found in the country.

Especially when Ning Yan took the big red flag in Switzerland, he did not change the license plate, but just added an extra pass on the front window of the car.

If that's not pretty.

That's really not much to say.

Of course, Ning Yan is also very aware of this.

Leaving Breguet relatively early, Ning Yan ran more than a dozen kilometers away with great interest to visit Audemars Piguet.

Although Jaeger-LeCoultre's brand value, brand recognition, etc., are not as good as Patek Philippe, Breguet, and Audemars Piguet, Ning Yan still subconsciously puts it last.

Since they've been going around in circles for so long.

It's also a good thing.

Give the opportunity to close to Jaeger-LeCoultre.

By the way, the Westminster Abbey Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon in the photo was in the bag.

Of course, in terms of preference, Audemars Piguet ranks first.

Ning Yan knows more about Audemars Piguet's history.

For example, he knows that Audemars Piguet's management rights are still in the hands of the founding families, Audemars and Piguet.

It is also the only watch brand in the world that is always family-run.

Audemars Piguet's CEO, Fran?? ois-Henry Bennahmias welcomed Ning Yan and his party into the Audemars Piguet factory.

“...... Welcome, Ning. ”

“......”

"This is our Code 11.59 series ......"

“......”

For the new Code 11.59 series, which is exiting this year, Audemars Piguet has taken it very seriously from top to bottom.

This is a watch that does not look much different from a fashionable watch of three or four thousand yuan.

But the price of this series in China starts at 200,000 yuan.

And because Audemars Piguet began to tighten its sales channels, there were hardly any discounts, and there were even price increases.

Ning Yan expressed strong interest: "Is there any plan for the Code 11.59 series to release a model with more exceptional complications? ”

“......”

"There are plans for the future, but for now, the launch of thirteen watches is already our greatest courage. ”

Bennahmias replied with a smile.

"Be sure to let me know when a new product is released, I love Code 11.59. ”

Ning Yan said casually.

Then Bennahmias extended a sincere invitation to Ning Yan.

"If given the chance, I hope Ning can attend our joint business meeting with Aston Martin......"

Before leaving Audemars Piguet.

Mr. Bennahmias gave Ning Yan a prototype of Code 11.59.

It's not a tourbillon, it's not a perpetual calendar, it's the simplest big three hands.

No blue aventurine, no bright circles, not even precious metals.

It's not as bright and beautiful as the watch that Ning Yan bought after a trip to AP house.

But this very simple archetypal model has an extra charm......

If it is said that along the way, what has brought Ning Yan is a new feeling and a unique scenery in a foreign country.

Well now.

After visiting the Jaeger-LeCoultre factory, Ning Yan went to buy a Jaeger-LeCoultre Westminster Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon watch full of anticipation, but was told that it was not available.

Yes!

Right in Switzerland, or even in the Vallée de Joux.

Out of stock!

After running around for 9,000 kilometers, I actually encountered a lack of goods.

Gassy!

And!

Who can withstand this?

Jaeger-LeCoultre also gave Ning Yan a special watch, which may not be as good as the watch that Ning Yan had in mind.

But with the same unique attributes, it's not bad overall.

Ning Yan didn't think it would be out of stock.

So Ning Yan came directly: "Either you don't do it!"

Broken bowls.
