As the Mr & I were strolling around the shopping district, we happened upon the lovely vintage shop…read moreof Iskender I did not realize before we entered this shop that I had seen these items before on my favorite vintage jewelry site but when I was looking more closely at a Bunny Brooch that had caught my attention, I made the connection Lots of different pieces ranging from earrings to brooches to necklaces to rings and everything in between. Signed pieces from Boucheron, Cartier and more and unsigned as well. This one of a kind creation was exquisite and in pristine condition There was a "best price" offer and VAT paperwork provided Very pleasant conversation and knowledgeable about his pieces, this is worth a stop for sure!

Iskender provides terrible customer service…read more I bought an item of jewellery from them. It broke soonafter and I tried to contact the Manager and Mr Everybody at this business (this is just a tiny, one-man outfit). However, he was always supposedly busy and never got back to me. I kept emailing and phoning but Iskender did not respond. The necklace is now just lying in a cupboard, unrepaired. A complete waste of money. The prices are extremely high compared to others! I would never buy from this jewellery retailer again.

Bought a watch last summer for a price exceeding 4K CHF. Power reserve is not functioning, which I…read morecouldn't check in the shop. Was told that the watch was serviced. Ok, bad luck. Sent an email signaling the issue. No answer at all. Quite a disappointment. Would avoid in the future.

Inside the main store, you will find a wide selection of watches from Burberry to Gucci to Vulcain…read more In the back room, you will find antiques and higher-end names like Cartier, Patek Philippe, Omega and this is not even counting the rings, bracelets, brooches, and other vintage treasures I spotted a lovely Patek Philippe mystery watch, at a very good offering price - about on par with what I have found elsewhere. At first they advised me the watch was from the 1930s but I knew it was a later piece....and after they pulled out the certificate, formally authenticated by Patek Philippe, turned out it was from 1965 - which was fine. It was a lovely piece & they had the certificate to prove it was authentic. There are no negotiations / no offer of a "best price" but they will take a few 100 CHF off for wire transfer or cash. Credit cards require full asking price. The watchband was unfortunately too small and although they could have had a local jeweler add links to the gold band, we ended up passing on the purchase, mainly for the fact we did not appreciate the VAT / export conditions If you purchase a watch from the front of the store, they offer a VAT refund. In the back room, we were initially advised these items did not qualify, since they were secondhand items - but this is totally bogus since I currently had paperwork in my hands from Sotheby's ( i.e., a secondhand item ) - so we called them on this. Then they tried telling us that Patek Philippe had an arrangement where watches don't qualify for VAT - also bogus Then the owner stepped in and advised all the items in the vintage room / back room were from private acquisitions / local sales and therefore did not qualify for VAT refunds because he did not pay taxes on them when he acquired them......he then tried to reason that places like Sotheby's import items to sell and places like Rolex are big companies, who must charge taxes, so that was why they could offer VAT refunds.... but as his inventory came from private, local transactions, he could not. So does this mean you are not paying taxes to sell this inventory through your business?? Would have I been charged VAT if I purchased the watch from you? Would I buy something out of your shop but consider it a private sale?? Aren't you charged taxes on your business' inventory? I surely am no expert in Swiss law but something did not seem right.... And with these inconsistencies, we parted ways. So overall impression is the shop's wide variety and good price points are well worth a visit but know what you are getting into, going in

Boutique Chanel has both purses and jewelry so even though you can only see jewelry outside, if you…read morego inside to the left you'll find bags and such. I was in search for a particular wallet for my sis-in-law to check out pricing. Going inside the boutique, I felt kind of under dressed and out of place. Good thing my boyfriend knows French as he was able to ask for the wallet we were in search for. The sales woman was not smiley just very serious and straight forward. I think after showing us all the different wallets and saying thanks, she was a bit disappointed that we didn't buy anything. All the prices were pretty much similar to what was in the US. So unless you want to go through the hassle of customs on the way home for anything over $800, then you're better off just buying it online or home. It was a beautiful boutique and if I were into expensive things, perhaps I'd be here more often but I'm not so there ;)
