Visiting Switzerland in winter

by Henry

Switzerland is synonymous with a lot of things, and in particular, clocks and watches. And so the latest promotional video on Switzerland is rather curious, with the locals apparently set on collecting all the clocks they possibly can. What are they up to? Just take a look at the video below. Congratulations to the Swiss tourist authorities for this beautifully-produced video, with a great sense of irony and gentle humour.
