It was a 10 CHF entrance fee to go in and you will start the visit from the 3rd floor down. An iPad audio guide will be provided but it is seriously a very, very slow guide. If you actually listen to it all the way, it could probably take you at least 3 hours to finish the visit. Worth time spent if you are really a HUGE PP fan and avid watch lover.

Problems as to what you can take a picture of or notes of. Audio visuals function operatically and they should not.…

If you can only do two things in Geneva, this has to be one of them. The collection of masterpieces is incredibly comprehensive and spans different eras. Majority of these individual pieces are valued at $1million+, and collectively there are thousands. Visiting the museum with a guided tour is highly recommended. It’s a small fee (5CHF) to pay for an informative and entertaining tour that’ll help you appreciate why watches are truly ‘timeless’…
