This is great. Really nice work. There's something restful about the animations.
What I find amazing about this kind of design is how 'digital' it looks – years before computers were powerful enough.
He's Dutch not Swiss, but designers like Wim Crouwel[0] were hand-drawing pixel fonts in the 60s, and pretty much all of his work from then looks just as fresh today. And you've got to love his 60's modernist designer space suit[1].
Maybe it is the physical proximity to artistic Italy. I don`t understand how a clearly Alemanni / Germanic culture like the majority of the Swiss managed to get world-wide known for things like "Helvetica" or the "Swiss Railway clock".
Besides my main job as a software engineer, I work as a tech-recruiter in Zurich and I observe that the more work is frontend-heavy the less it is subject to being outsourced as it is usually closer to the client.
Those same things have a very utilitarian, engineered flavor to them, that's a major part of the appeal. Instead of over-decoration and serifs, they carry clean, minimal lines and optimize for clarity and readability. That is, in some ways, a centerpiece of Swiss (and Germanic) culture.
Also, you need to remember that germanic cultures gave us all the Dutch Old Masters, Bauhaus, not to mention Mozart, Beethoven & co.
