We used to have a Swiss made machine called an Elna. It worked well and of loved it. We have an old Kenmore that works well, and the one in the pic is a Husqvarna Viking. It's pretty nice, I got it for about 20 dollars at goodwill.
Oh yeah that's a gift!
If Husqvarna makes sewing machines like their chain saws, you have a very fine machine. That's my favorite chain saw by far.
Anything Swiss is top of the line. The swiss take pride in quality.
Vintage Kenmores......hmmm
I have two different models. I think they are from the 70s. A Kenmore repair man explained to me how to service them myself. He said that they were made by a Japanese company that competed with Sears after the second WW. They were top quality, better than many of the modern commercial grade machines.
He said that you can use those vintage Kenmores 8 hours/ day for the rest of your life and not wear them out. Other than motor bushings or a belt there's not much that breaks.

I also have a sewing machine but from Bernina, an other Swiss brand. But I'm not good in using it. I got it from my grandmother. But my mother is very talented in sewing.
With regard to the picture, i really like the view from your window. No house to be seen. I mean, I also life in the country and not in the city, but there are still houses everywhere.

The old Bernina machines had close tolerances and were very good quality. I fixed one that was going to be used for a seamstress Taylor's shop I was opening for a lady. That didn't pan out, so perhaps another lady would like that some day. It would also have beautiful scenery and the most ideal conditions.

Switzerland sounds like a beautiful country. I have a friend who visited there and came back with a story of her yodeling in the Alps. Do you live near the Alps?
Here are two links to my favorite sewing repair man, Randy . He thinks highly of the Elnas, so that means a lot. If you have a quality vintage machine, they are like sturdy people, built to last. 💪🫡
You'll never need a Bernina.

Yes I actually live in the near of the alps. But basically still in the valley. But the distances here are probably much smaller than yours. From my place I could go for a 4-5 hours hike and I would be on top of a 2200 m high mountain. But I never did that. There is also an aerial cableway.
