Rue Etienne-Dumont sits just below the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre at the eastern edge of the Old Town. Cobblestones, arched ground floors, wrought-iron balconies, the kind of quiet you don't get on the lakefront. Combine the visit with a wander up to the cathedral and a coffee on Place du Bourg-de-Four — the prettiest square in Geneva and a two-minute walk away.
A German watch, in the global capital of Swiss watches. Slightly subversive. That's part of the fun.
