Today we visited the well known international ETA Swatch Group. First we went to the factory, where we participated in an informative presentation by the director. We also had the opportunity to discuss and ask questions about the company, production and manufacturing of the components of Swiss watches. Following the presentation we had the opportunity to explore the factory. After a splendid lunch we then moved as a group to visit the Omega museum and headquarters. Our visit began with a fascinating presentation by Dr. Rentsch which was followed by a hour long visit to the Omega museum, which was concluded by refreshments and a complimentary gift from Omega. Then we entered the city center of Biel for a chance to buy our very own Swatches. Many watches heavier and Francs lighter we returned back home for a wonderful barbeque dinner outdoors in the beautiful Swiss weather. The Lions Youth Campers then headed to bed early after some free time to prepare for a long and exciting day tomorrow.
