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, the 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.
Spatial Concept
At its heart lies the handcrafting space — flanked on one side by engineering and design, and on the opposite side by logistics.

The Building
A dialogue between tradition and modernity, inside and out.
Architectural Clarity
Designed with regional architects Esslinger-Deitermann and built by local contractor Pfirmann Bau, the building impresses with its distinctive clarity. A defining highlight is the nearly 100 m long south façade, whose rhythmic composition of panoramic windows opens generously to the landscape.
Material Composition
Traditional German clinker brick lends the façade a sense of craftsmanship and warmth, while bronze-finished aluminum composite elements add a precise, contemporary touch.
Interior Ambiance
A bright, welcoming interior features natural-tone floor tiles and parquet, light-grey walls, and furniture kept in light tones that add warmth and serene comfort.
Inside the Manufaktur
A directory of the spaces where every masterpiece takes shape.
Team Connection
The dining area serves as both a functional workspace and a central meeting point, with large windows offering panoramic views where the team can gather and exchange ideas.
Manufacturing Winders & Components
Dedicated areas accommodate the manufacturing of watch winders, components and small-series production, with advanced equipment ensuring seamless workflow and precision.
Manufacturing Safes
A deep commitment to the highest possible quality level defines the manufacturing of watch and jewellery safes, where advanced technology meets meticulous hand-finishing.
Component Storage
Handles, carbon and wooden elements, lighting parts, plugs and cables are neatly arranged on long shelves — a quiet display of the precision behind every masterpiece.
Quality Control
Stringent checks take place in dedicated areas, supported by a central light tunnel that provides more natural daylight, ensuring every detail meets B&Z's highest standards.
Ready for Customers
Freshly completed and rigorously quality-checked, high-security safes are ready for global shipment — the result of German engineering and fine craftsmanship.
Logistics Hub
An expanded logistics hub ensures efficient global distribution, seamlessly connecting manufacturing spaces with worldwide delivery.
Private Showroom
Visitors are invited into the world of BUBEN&ZORWEG through intimate personalised consultations, retail partner trainings, and curated brand experiences — a creative space for configuring a unique high-security safe down to every last detail.
As evening sets in, the building's linear structure and precise detailing come into striking focus — the illuminated façade underscoring the interplay between engineering and aesthetics.

We couldn't be prouder of the result. Our new Manufaktur perfectly reflects who we are as a brand — engineered in Germany, shaped by craftsmanship, and designed for those who love the exceptional. We look forward to welcoming our global partners, clients, and enthusiasts to experience our new home.
