The location

The nest of Watchmaking Genius

What we are building here is a shelter for intuition, a launching ground for innovation. A place that mirrors our approach: structured, organic, and intensely alive. A nest, in every sense of the word, where time can be born, grow, and take flight.

The location

Nestled on the western edge of the Swiss watchmaking arc, our Manufacture is located between Geneva and Lausanne, in the municipality of Tolochenaz (VD). 

It is here, in a historic villa with clean lines and open volumes, that we will be moving in this autumn. A place chosen not for its appearance, but for what it enables: to welcome, to connect, to bring ideas to life.

The Nest

Conceived as a true nest, this 800 m² space spread over three levels embodies our way of creating. Its architecture encourages the natural flow of ideas as much as the movement of people. 

Each floor, each corner, each light contributes to the same ecosystem: that of the gesture taking shape, of thought in motion. Inside, the workshops sit alongside meeting spaces, artworks punctuate the walls, and the surrounding nature enters through every window.

The art of hosting

This place is not just a logistical tool. It is the living heart of our collective dynamic. It welcomes our teams, our partners, and our visitors — journalists, collectors, friends — in conditions that meet our highest standards. 

Dedicated reception areas and the ability to host are an integral part of this commitment to openness.
