It sounds like you had some nice conversations with the Swiss men, but then added a new layer of information about your friend. That's all well and good, but it seems like you're using this opportunity to show them that you have a smart and successful friend who is also connected to a global company.
However, it feels like you might be oversharing or trying too hard to impress them with this information. The phrase "SMART guy friend" is repeated twice in quick succession, which gives the impression that you're highlighting his intelligence and accomplishments for their benefit rather than just sharing the fact as a natural part of your conversation.
Additionally, the details about your friend's family connections (the chef brother in Copenhagen, the French wife) seem like they might be intended to show off your own cultural interests and sophistication. While it's nice that you appreciate those things, it feels like you're using them to try to impress or connect with the Swiss men on a deeper level.
If you want to share this information about your friend in a way that feels more natural and less like an attempt to one-up someone else, you might consider framing it as a casual aside or a way of showing your own interests. For example:
"Oh, I was just thinking about my friend who works at a Swiss company, and we were talking about our shared love of intellectual discussions over coffee... He's got a really cool brother who's a chef in Copenhagen, and his wife is from France, which always makes for some great conversations!"
This way, you're sharing the information in a more organic way that feels like a natural part of your conversation rather than an attempt to impress or show off.
