For the watchmaker’s needs, we designed a new kind of building. Built horizontally on the hill, the Manufacture fits discreetly into this landscape resulting from the folds of the Jura. Its surroundings create a succession of biotopes characteristic of the region. The whole blends into the geography of the Jura and the astral time. The contours and materials are chosen to intensify the user’s or visitor’s experience of the environment, natural light and the movement of the sun. The Manufacture houses all the programs necessary for the manufacture of the most complicated watch movements: research and development, machining, decoration, as¬sembly and administration.
