The Grey NATO – 284 – A Last Minute Mountain Adventure In Switzerland

This episode was recorded extra remotely as James is in Switzerland visiting Victorinox and chatted with Jason from his hotel room in Zurich. The main topic for the episode features a report from a day trip that James took into the Swiss Alps to Grindelwald and then to check out a special hotel seen in Band of Brothers. From a great many trains – and even a boat – it was an exciting way to spend a free day in a truly beautiful country.

From the get-go, Jason and James are gardening, UPS is messing with James’ purchase of a new bag, and Sinn has a new version of an old chronograph. Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you belting like Connery and taking a ride in a new Aston with an old pal.
