The building is nestled between Omega’s historic buildings and the new Swatch Headquarters. The construction, which is slightly elevated on pillars in a seemingly effortless way, is characterized by its contemporary glass façade that reflects lightness and transparency.
While straight lines and right angles characterize the floors above the 28 elegantly curved arcades on the ground floor, the Nicolas G. Hayek Conference Hall on the fourth floor, with its elliptical shape and elaborate mosaic façade, literally stands out. The use of the Conference Hall is meant for internal purposes of the Swatch Group only.

Sustainability
Special attention was paid to sustainability in the design and construction of the new Cité du Temps building. The natural raw material wood, natural resources such as the use of groundwater to heat and cool the building and solar power from the photovoltaic system contribute significantly to an optimal CO2 balance.
