Default Mystery tree?

Anyone care to offer an identification for this specimen, seen in
Switzerland? I have only ever seen 3 others - 1 in Hull (garden), UK,
and 2 on Tyneside (garden and park), UK. When the pods are ripe and
turning from green to translucent brown, they can be squeezed between
2 fingers, when they burst with a quite audible 'pop'.

Thanks
