Headquarters of Swatch, Biel/Bienne, Architectural complex in Bienne, Switzerland
The Swatch Omega Campus spans 46,778 square meters and consists of three buildings: The Swatch Headquarters, The Omega Factory, and Cité du Temps.
Architect Shigeru Ban won the architectural competition for the headquarters in 2011, following his previous collaboration with Swatch on the Nicolas G. Hayek Center in Tokyo.
The campus combines watchmaking precision with architectural innovation through its timber construction, reflecting Swiss industrial and design excellence.
The facility accommodates 400 workspaces across five floors, featuring a ground-floor cafeteria and multiple common areas equipped with alcove cabins for private work.
The building's gridshell roof incorporates 7,700 distinct timber pieces, fabricated with 0.1 millimeter precision using specialized software for construction efficiency.
