Key Points from the Discussion

Many brands, including JLC, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Cartier, and Panerai, do not have outdoor clocks in Geneva, limiting the scope of such a compilation.
The Breguet clock is a popular favorite among contributors, often recognized for its elegance and prominent placement outside the brand's store.
The IWC clock's inclusion of the word 'Automatic' on a non-watch sign was noted as an interesting, albeit slightly redundant, detail.
A suggestion was made for Jaeger-LeCoultre to create a Reverso-style outdoor clock with two different faces, reflecting the watch's iconic design.
The Gübelin clock was highlighted for its creative and colorful design, standing out among the more traditional brand clocks.

Alkiro, you are a star!! :-)

It was very good of you to take photos of all the clocks and post them here. Something different and a nice change. My choice would be between the Breguet and the creative and colourful Gubelin clock. Thank you for the post!

You're too kind, I'm blushing :-)

Like you, I really love the Breguet and both Gubelin. I would add the Breitling and GO too ;-) Many thanks for your comments. Best wishes Alkiro

Cool to see that the Breguet has a lot of fans here. I'm with you for that one, it's very nice. Then, I would add the Gubelin, Breitling and GO

Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks for the shots!

I can see you know your way around in Geneva! I had not realized there were so many of these. My favourites are the Glashütte and Breguet, but of course the Gübelin is a crazy piece too! Best, HGL

Many thanks HGL

Almost everyday, I walk rue du Rhône and I thought it was interesting to take shots of all these cool clocks. Ultimately, it wasn't so long to take shots of all of them (I don't know if I forgot one. That's the true question LOL). Best wishes Alkiro
