A new extension in the infrastructure of the Swiss brand
The Swiss bran Breget will be embarking on a two-year extension and transformation of its facilities in L-Orient, right in the watchmaking heart of Switzerland La Vellee de Joux.
Since Breguet became part of the Swatch Group in 1999, a new broom has swept through the workshops in L'Orient (Vallée de Joux). And for good reason: the late Nicolas G. Hayek made the firm his "pet project" and personally oversaw its big-bucks transformation.
Swatch Group has given Breguet the means to an ambitious new end. Of Breguet's one thousand staff, some 600 are employed at the new production facilities, which were extended in 2001/2002. A second expansion project was launched this year and is slated for completion in 2013.
The brand continues to expand and Breguet will also be pressing ahead with its Maison du Patrimoine in L'Abbaye, a few miles away. It will house the brand's collection of 250 historically significant timepieces.
