Exploring the
Speedmaster
Omega museum
IN THE SHADOW OF THE JURA MOUNTAINS AND ON THE NORTHEASTERN
SHORE OF LAKE BIEL, THE SMALL MEDIEVAL CITY OF BIEL (OR BIENNE, IF
YOU PREFER THE FRENCH NAME) IS HOME TO SEVERAL WATCHMAKERS
AND THE WORLDWIDE HEADQUARTERS OF THE SWATCH GROUP. ON A
SATURDAY MORNING A FEW MONTHS AGO, I WALKED FROM MY HOTEL
ALONG THE CANAL AND THROUGH THE CITY PARK TOWARDS THE SUBURBS
TO ARRIVE AT A TWO-STORY BUILDING WITH A BUTTERMILK YELLOW
FAÇADE AND WHITE COLUMNS.
