Geneva - where to visit?

[yeti]

As the title really, a few fellow watch and car enthusiasts are driving from the UK in late September to end up in Geneva on a Friday and Saturday. My DB9, a 550 and Maserati 3200 and GranSport. Pretty fast crowd

It has fallen to me to ask the question of anyone who has been before - what is there to see from a watch perspective? We're not going on a buying trip (though I'd be amazed if I didn't pick up something) looking more for something like a factory visit or museum tour.

My personal interests run to Rolex and JLC locally, will either of these places give a tour? One of a party is a registered Patek owner if that holds sway at the PP factory?

The trip was inspired by an Aston Martin trip that visits JLC but obviously I don't have that kind of clout. With an advance booking, what are my chances of visiting?

TIA

There is a Patek Phillipe Museum in Geneva.

CHF 10 for adult entrance.

Well worth a visit. Took the Mrs (who has zero interest in watches) there a few years back while we had a few days in Geneva and she absolutely loved it.

On the list already

Waiting on JLC to get back to me with regard to a tour. Maybe, just maybe...
