Bvlgari Unveils Renovated Manufacture in Saint-Léger
Bvlgari has reached a significant milestone in its watchmaking heritage with the unveiling of the newly expanded manufacture in Saint-Léger on 14 November. The enhanced facility, now spanning an impressive 4,400 m²—up from its previous 3,400 m²—sets a new benchmark for craftsmanship and innovation within the brand’s horological division.
A New Era of Craftsmanship
The renovated manufacture is dedicated to producing watch dials and cases, blending technological precision with artisanal mastery. Dials created in this facility will exemplify Bvlgari’s commitment to tradition, incorporating techniques such as marquetry, micro-painting, and inlay work. These methods, deeply rooted in the artistry of fine watchmaking, reflect the brand’s dedication to preserving and reimagining classic craftsmanship for contemporary audiences.
With this expansion, Bvlgari positions itself as a leader in creating luxury timepieces that are not only technically advanced but also artistic masterpieces. The manufacture’s capabilities reaffirm its status as a key player in the Swiss watchmaking landscape.
Prioritising Sustainability and Employee Well-Being
The updated facility goes beyond production improvements, embodying Bvlgari’s commitment to sustainability and workplace enhancement. A newly added floor includes a staff restaurant with an open terrace, offering panoramic views and a relaxed environment for employees. Additionally, a modernised leisure area aims to foster a sense of community and well-being among the workforce.
Sustainability has also been integrated into the building’s design. Solar energy generators installed on the roof, façade, and parking areas are expected to provide 25% of the facility’s energy needs, reducing the environmental footprint of operations. This move aligns with Bvlgari’s broader sustainability goals, ensuring that luxury is created responsibly without compromising the planet’s future.
A Testament to Bvlgari’s Vision
The renovated manufacture in Saint-Léger stands as a testament to Bvlgari’s vision of merging tradition with innovation. By investing in both its craft and its people, the brand ensures its timepieces not only reflect the highest standards of quality but also the values of a forward-thinking luxury maison.
