The Bürkliplatz flea market is a fun visit even if you aren't looking for anything in particular…read more It's a good place to find little trinkets if you're up for the hunt. We stopped by at around 9am on a Saturday, the market was fairly crowded with stalls selling antiques, cameras, prints, clothes, accessories etc. Even though it's a flea market things are still a little on the pricier side. We came back around 2pm and found that most of the prices in the shops had been dropped by half. The sellers are looking to make a sale before the market closes so I would recommend trying your luck a little before closing time. At the end of it all we found an antique collectible toy car, an old print, a small decorative vase and an antique mug all for 27 CHF.

My favorite second hand store in Zurich !…read more This place is really amazing. They sell primarily second vintage furniture. And they have really everything what you would need to restyle your appartment in a '70 style. The staff is really nice and even offer coffee. I especially like their range of eames chairs. Don't forget to go to their store at viadukt.

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.
