THE NEW WORKSHOPS
Time is like a river of passing events … Marcus
Aurelius
One of the most important events in the Manufactory's
recent history has been the conclusion of the transformation work
on the building acquired by the Group in December 2001 to house
its separate production centres under one roof.
The west wing of the building built in 1918, is a superb example
of "Art nouveau" (1890-1910), one of several, in fact, that can
still be admired in La Chaux-de-Fonds today.
T he restoration of this part of the building
was carried out with meticulous care to ensure that its original
form and character were preserved.
The transformation work took a whole year and it was only in January
2003 that the premises were ready for full-scale activity.
We would be very happy to welcome you to La Chaux-de-Fonds and show
you around the building, where you will be able to observe our Manufactory's
multiple skills.
