Aurélie Chappuis
Aurélie grew up in Carouge, in a family of watch regulators, and has followed the watch fair since it moved to Palexpo. She knows which days the streets of Plainpalais empty out, and at what time the lakeside hotels are fully booked. She only recommends a place if she has walked in through the public entrance.
