The main building was originally a neo-gothic style country house built in 1905 which was designed by the Geneva architect Edmond Fatio. Due to the incredible success experienced by the brand, the firm was forced to expand and, consequently, two buildings in the same style were built to house workshops for watchmakers, engravers and jewellers, as well as workshops for case machining, galvanoplasty, decoration and polishing.

As such, the components of the movement, as well as the parts that make up the covering of the watch (dials, cases, buckles and tongues), are created in the various Franck Muller production sites located in the Jura Arc and are then taken to Watchland to be finished and ultimately assembled.
Watchland is therefore the heart of all Franck Muller Genéve brand timepieces.
