With the place itself.
Access information is gathered on site, from the place itself or from its official source, never copied from a directory.
About
An independent guide,built around access.
GVA brings together the places that matter for fine watchmaking in French-speaking Switzerland. No paid placement, nothing in return.
The intention
The method
Three principles.
What guides the selection of places and the writing of each page.
Selective
A tight selection.
We do not list everything: each place is chosen for what it offers anyone interested in watchmaking.
Independent
No paid placement.
No maison, brand or institution funds the guide. The selection stays free, and so does the writing.
Behind the guide
Julien Castro
GenevaBased in Geneva, Julien Castro works in digital for a watch maison. GVA is a personal, independent project he started to document what existing guides leave out: access.
