My hotel (Hotel St. Gottard) also said this was the place to go for Rolex. I went in and was taken care of by one of the female staff members. She was very helpful and made the process painless considering the price tag. I left the shop with my watch and I really enjoyed the experience. The place is easy to find, clean and they make you feel special.

Price was reasonable for a contemporary Swiss made watch as Mondaine. I paid extra for the better face and leather band. All in all a pleasant shopping experience in the main city of Zurich, and this store was among many we visited as it was situated on the long stretch of high end designs as Chanel, Gucci, LV, Rolex, Bulgari, etc. Sure, my hubby got himself a Raymond Weil as well, while there!

I like their selection being good quality brands but not the $10k plus spendy Rolex type offerings. Much more affordable stuff for the average spender. The service here as it is with others was very attentive and they spoke very good English. And I treated myself to a new Tissot watch that needed to go home with me. I will always recommend this chain to others when traveling in Germany.

Swatch - Flagship Store (Zürich)…read more Buying my first Swatch here was a wonderful experience. I looked at great Swiss masterpieces selection. Any questions I had, was answered. Staff were so helpful here, with positive attitude. After I purchased my beautiful black and red watch, the staff mentioned, "With your purchase, anywhere in the world you visit a Swatch location, your battery replacement is complimentary." I would have loved to take pictures of this beautiful interior but I was politely asked not to take any. If you're looking to purchase authentic Swiss Masterpieces, stop by this Flagship Store, in heart of downtown Zürich.

I chose this location given its proximity to Paradeplatz area and thus hoping there would be excellent customer service. My suspicions were right, I was served by a very nice lady who was able to give me a variety of choices and ranges of different gift items I could get. There was never any type of push to sell me something nor did she walk away to service another client; which some stores like Louis Vuitton rudely train their associates to do. In the end I swiftly walked out with a nice wallet as a gift for a colleague. So mission accomplished, with many other future gift ideas bestowed!

Recently, I brought in two watches to ZZ for a bit of 'TLC'. One is a 30 year old 'Goofy' a la…read moreWalt Disney watch where the arms and numbers are set so that time runs backwards. The other is a 14 kt., antique Hamilton from the 40s, and a family heirloom. The first step, I was told by the friendly woman behind the counter, would be the price quote for work potentially rendered. The watches were to be inspected, and then a price quote would be given. Based on that, I would then decide if I wanted work to commence. So far, so good. The watches were dropped off at the shop at the beginning of the week. It's now Thursday, and I just received word via email that one of the watches has already BEEN REPAIRED and was ready for pick-up. When I rang to say that I thought I was to first receive a price quote (and to make sure that the repairs to the Hamilton hadn't been started) the ZZ dude was pretty matter-of-fact, and just said something like 'well, it was just a glass replacement.' All I can say is thank Jeebus that it wasn't the Hamilton that they'd set their tools upon as that repair what have FOR SURE cost a pretty penny. Again, the 'Goofy' watch simply needed a replacement glass as the old one was cracked from being dropped. Of course, 'simply', when it comes to the price of things in CH quickly becomes 'costly', so I'm a bit anxious to find out what I owe them. Flash forward to Friday: I've just retrieved both of the watches from ZZ. The 'Goofy' watch glass replacement cost 67 CHF. This was more than I expected to pay, and, had they actually quoted me the price first as agreed, I could have then shopped around some, or, at the very least, thought about it for a spell before taking the plunge. I can, however, honestly say that the work was well executed and may the new glass stay crack-free for many years to come! The antique Hamilton watch quote came via email last night and was in the neighborhood of 744 CHF. The hubs didn't want to spend that much on the watch, so I picked it up still sans second hand and took it home.
