Patek museum is easy walking distance from the lake. It has a LOT of watches it in. A lot.

I also recommend the Patek museum, very good. We went to the show 4 years ago and had heard about the museum but didn't know where it was, we found the Patek shop first and went in to ask about the museum - they gave us tickets for free entry so a real bonus!

In an expensive city here's a good value and very nice burger place to eat that's not a million miles away.. I can recommend it.

In addition, for a cheap eat I can recommend Chez Ma Cousine. It's basically chicken and chips, but large portions, cheap and tastes good.

+1 for the Patek museum

Geneva is really expensive right now, thanks tot he strong CHF and the weak GBP

if you hire a car and head north there are a glut of museums - Horologie, Omega, and more. And Beyer in Zurich is small but perfectly formed
