BUBEN&ZORWEG opens new Manufaktur with Private Showroom in Pforzheim, Germany

BUBEN&ZORWEG has completed its new state-of-the-art Manufaktur and Private Showroom in Pforzheim, Germany. The space sets a new benchmark in the engineering and craftsmanship of high-security safes, watch winders and bespoke masterpieces that combine both areas of expertise. Located at the gateway to the Black Forest on a 5,000 m² site, the purpose-built 2,500 m² facility is architecturally and functionally shaped around the brand’s three guiding principles: German engineering, fine craftsmanship, and extraordinary design.

Built in three distinct sections, the structure mirrors the dynamic interplay of principles, competencies and teams. At its heart lies the handcrafting space, where the highly artistic processes unfold. It is flanked on one side by engineering and design, and on the opposite side by logistics – a concept that reinforces the flow between innovation, creation and delivery.

Step inside the new BUBEN&ZORWEG Manufaktur and experience the brand's relentless pursuit of masterful craftsmanship.

Architectural clarity

Designed in collaboration with regional architects Esslinger-Deitermann and built by local contractor Pfirmann Bau, the building impresses with its distinctive architectural clarity. A defining highlight is the nearly 100 m long south façade, whose rhythmic composition of expansive panoramic windows opens generously to the surrounding landscape.

Material composition

A harmonious dialogue between tradition and modernity emerges through the careful choice of materials. The traditional German clinker brick lends the façade a sense of craftsmanship and warmth, while the bronze-finished aluminum composite elements add a precise, contemporary touch.

Highlights

Nature & Light — BUBEN&ZORWEG

Nature & Light

Framed by the lush greenery of the Black Forest, the building opens itself to its surroundings with expansive glass façades. These large surfaces and a room height of 3 metres draw in abundant natural light, creating an immersive and bright atmosphere. The Manufaktur’s welcoming west side is landscaped with native trees and grasses, complemented by two ponds and a striking 60-year-old bonsai tree. On the east side, employees enjoy their own green retreat and terrace, designed with local trees and diverse grasses.

Materials & Refinement — BUBEN&ZORWEG

Materials & Refinement

Traditional German clinker brick in a deep dark brown with subtle anthracite nuances conveys a sense of robustness and lasting security. The carefully selected water‑struck brick, produced with a special method, gives each piece a unique natural texture. Refined aluminium‑composite surfaces with a bronze finish add sophistication. Inside, large‑format greige floor tiles, a natural‑tone parquet floor with a brushed, raw‑wood look, wooden windows, and light‑grey walls create a sense of warmth and serene comfort.

Architecture & Aesthetics — BUBEN&ZORWEG

Architecture & Aesthetics

A three-part architectural concept symbolizes the brand’s philosophy: creating unique masterpieces through exceptional engineering, craftsmanship and design. Purpose-built for inspiration and clarity, the structure seamlessly connects these pillars. Set on a sloping plot, the building is harmoniously integrated into the hillside, with its levels organically following the natural terrain. This layout not only enhances the architectural dynamism of the ensemble but also opens up impressive, light-filled spatial perspectives.
