The result is an intimate portrait, comprising of hundreds of individual images that build a beautiful insight to such prestigious venue.

identity is routed firmly in Switzerland. Created by one of the country's most famous watchmaking families, the brand is named after Geneva's prestigious street, Rue Du Rhone, and the river Rhone that flows through the heart of the city. The number 88 is the only number missing on the street. Just where number 88 should be, there is something precious: the view of the Rhone leaving Lake Geneva. It is precisely here, on these banks, that Swiss watchmaking was born five centuries ago. This has become a signature logo engraved in the design of each timepiece.
