Beyond being beautiful, the Manufakturzentrum is still very much a working factory – and a large one at that. There is more than 145,000 sq. ft. of working space fit into the 456 ft. by 203 ft. (139m x 62m) footprint. Of that, nearly 24,000 sq. ft. are clean room space where movements can be assembled, cases can be tested, and quality control can be exercised. If you want a few more numbers, we got ’em for you: there are 23,500 sq. ft. of solar panels on the roof, over 52,000 sq. ft. of glass used for the interior and exterior walls, and over 515,000 cu. ft. of concrete used throughout. The building represents a CHF 42,000,000 investment by IWC and it sure looks the part.
