Know-it-all Marketplace will showcase a luxurious new watch stand, called The One Night Stand, at its pop-up shop in Geneva from 27 November through to 23 December.
The One Night Stand
Designed and produced by Sufixe, the sleek-looking stand will make an ideal Christmas gift for anyone who prizes their precious timepiece, and is the first in what is expected to be a series of new products to be created by the recently launched R&D branch of c:lynk, a long-established design agency that works for multinational clients in and around Geneva.
According to c:lynk founder, Basil Thuillard, The One Night Stand can serve either as a premium stand to keep at home for precious timepiece owners, or as a window display item not just for watches, but other items too such as jewelry. The design can be fully customizable through choice of materials, finishings (paint, coatings, raw effect, etc), engravings, colors and more.
Despite all the last minute preparation going on for Know-it-all Marketplace, the new month-long pop-up shop opening in Geneva next Monday, Lisa Cirieco-Ohlman still managed to find time to head over to WRS this morning to talk to Katt Cullen on the Mid Morning Mix.
Click here and listen to what she had to say about her new temporary shop in the Planète Charmilles shopping center and the rigorous selection process that all the creative vendors had to go through to get their products included!
Whether you're looking for inexpensive but unique, handmade craft items to give to your female friends for Christmas, or more luxurious designer gifts to give to your husband, there is something for everybody in the shop, with prices ranging from just Fr. 2.- through to Fr. 300.-.
With every purchase made, you can be sure you will be supporting a local business...Lisa explained on the show that all 54 creators selected to display their wares in the shop come from the Lake Geneva region or nearby.
Know-it-all Marketplace will open for business on Monday, 27 November at 9h and will remain open every day except Sundays until the last Saturday before Christmas, 23 December 2017.

New website highlights growing demand for internet-based services
If you like watching English TV and have lived in this region for a few years, chances are that you will have installed a satellite dish to watch your favorite TV programmes.
For many people with satellite, the Freesat service has been more than sufficient to allow them access to a wide selection of free channels, without the hassle of recurring monthly fees. For others, the lure of subscription services like Sky, with its various TV packages covering everything from sport and kids TV through to documentaries and films, is just too much to resist!
However, with the advent of internet TV, everything has changed. Many people living in this region, especially those who are newly arrived, prefer the convenience of internet-based TV services, which don’t require the potentially costly installation and complicated set-up of satellite dishes.
Although internet TV may be more convenient, there are now so many options available that it’s not always obvious which service to opt for. To help you through this process, local English TV specialists, Williams Services, have set up a new website, https://englishtvservices.com, to help guide you through the main options available in this region.
Divided into 4 sections, the website proposes the following services to customers:
The fourteenth edition of the biennial literary anthology of the English-speaking Geneva Writers’ Group will be launched in the Common Room (next to the parking lot) at Webster University on Saturday, September 16, 2017. With poetry and prose from more than 40 writers representing 15 countries, this volume celebrates the creative, international community of 250 writers established in 1993 by Susan M. Tiberghien with a few friends. The launch includes an informal reception at 5 p.m. with selected readings. All are welcome.
This year, the theme of “fragile states” was selected to inspire writing by people who have created lives in places far from their “roots.” This reality was the impetus for the title Offshoots that was inspired by the vigorous shoots of plane trees sprouting each spring along the lakeside quays of Geneva.
“Our writers bring a remarkable range of experience when it comes to the challenge of adaptation,” said this edition’s American editor-in chief, Patti M. Marxsen. “We hoped the theme would lead to some fascinating perspectives and we were not disappointed!”
Special discount for knowitall.ch readers throughout September and October!
