Hieronymus Stationery - classic Swiss precision

Invariably, Zurich ranks either first or in the upper regions of any list gathering the world’s best cities to live. The quality of life is high there, at the Northwestern tip of Lake Zürich, in a global city with one of the world’s largest financial centres and lowest of tax rates – making it the wealthiest city in Europe.

Culturally, the arts have also a long-standing presence in the city, and today, Zürich houses many modern and contemporary art museums, from its Kunsthaus to its Kunsthalle, and the city offers non-European and digital art as well in its Rietberg Museum and Museum of Digital Art, respectively.

Superbly organized and with respect for both its past and present, Zürich is a well-appointed hub where, as the world knows, quality reigns supreme. World-famous for this characteristic are Swiss watches, but in Zürich, there’s a company that takes a similar hyper-detailed and knowledge-based approach to its offering. Hieronymus is a luxury Swiss stationer that treats its letter-printed cards, hand-bound notebooks, bespoke business cards, leather bags and everything stationery-related as precious products. In their Zürich headquarters and ateliers, European craftsmen design and produce each piece, from pens to pouches.
