Audemars Piguet<\/a>‘s new manufacturing site, whose construction work started in 2018 and ended in spring 2021, consists of a 111,945 square feet one-story building spread on several split levels that have been adapted to the topography and to suit industrial flows.<\/p>\n

The new building seamlessly integrates the relief of the valley and draws inspiration from the surrounding meadows, boglands, and forests. It combines employees\u2019 well-being and comfort, while giving prominence to natural light and new technologies.<\/p>\n

Designed by architectural firm Kunik de Morsier<\/a>, the building features large bay windows made of SageGlass, a cost, and energy-efficient electrochromic glass that tints automatically depending on natural light. In addition to filling each workshop with light, this type of glass ensures thermal regulation all year long and offers a full view of the surrounding landscape. This \u201clight architecture\u201d has been developed in collaboration with Marilyne Andersen, Professor of Sustainable Construction Techniques at the EPFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The investment is estimated at CHF 55 million. The workshops, which are distributed around a central piazza designed to encourage exchanges between the teams, already accommodate 180 employees. In the longer term, the new building could accommodate up to 250 employees.<\/p>\n

Further strengthening its roots within the canton of Neuch\u00e2tel, Audemars Piguet has also supported the development of a new bus TransN line in collaboration with the Neuhc\u00e2tel public transports, connecting Le Locle\u2019s city center to the Saignoles industrial zone, which now has its dedicated stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
