Too many Ferraris in Switzerland.....
Geneva and its surroundings is a wealthy area.
Forget Monaco and St Tropez, the real wealth in Switzerland was built on watches, chocolate, drugs and banking....
Here is a Ferrari 599 Fiorano (Model F139) parked outside Chopard LUC manufacture when we visited (PuristS on Tour 2009).....
Patrick Wehrli looks good in it with the added luxury of a LUC Quattro watch in the shot.
We moved to the Fondation Qualite Fleurier, and there is another Ferrari parked outside!
This one had Mr Olivier Wieers (FQF Chief Tester) in it.
That's two shots of a F139 on the same day; what are the odds?

i would assume rather high. (the passenger door pocket contents and cupholder contents are identical?)
Possibly....same dealer
It's a small town -- Geneva -- could be only one dealer that everyone uses. Or it is the standard handbook they give out in Ferrari Yellow? Then again, maybe we were being followed around as we were obviously a bus-load of watch fans......."Security! Stal...
Actually...
I think the prancing horse is probably much safer than the bus in the rain.
Errr... Not really...
Let's put it this way, Ferrari cars in general aren't safe in the rain; as their very wide tires make them very prone to aquaplane (among other reasons). However, the 599 is considered to be one of the best Ferraris to drive in the rain (among Ferraris). ...
I enjoyed watch-ing the photos!
Thank you for the photos MTF. It was a true pleasure to meet such a cosmopolitan person such as yourself. It was great experiencing these fantastic watches and the journey they go through before they get to your wrist!
