BNB Concept is of the most important companies in the luxury watch making world today. BNB Concept is starting to get in the watch making game with their Confrerie Horlogere (click here for more information on the ImmenSEAty movement that is one of the pictured items in the gallery below), but their forte is in the design and manufacture of ultra-high end complex watch movements. Some of their clients prefer to be kept confidential (watch companies are sensitive), but others are proud of their relationship with BNB Concept. These companies include, but are not limited to Bell & Ross, Concord, and Romain Jerome. In total they have 28 clients at this time.

The Confrerie Horlogere is BNB Concept's newest venture is will be in the business of creating highly complex, highly original, and highly limited watches. The timepiece are accompanied with something never before seen with a watch - a lifetime warranty. Yes this makes sense on watches costing small (or large) fortunes, but this does not diminish their capacity to break on occasion. I would feel quite reassured if the exclusive Confrerie Horlogere watch I purchased came with such a warranty, mainly because I know they are of the only people in the world able to fix their watches.

With all this watch industry notoriety and demand, BNB Concept is an incredibly good place to work. Located in Duillier just north of Geneva in Switzerland, the roughly 150 employee company has workers with an average age of just 27 - very young for the watch industry. The clean, open, and creative environment encourages personal projects and has an incredible allure - flexible hours. BNB Concept is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employees can work anytime they like (save for the cook). There are output expectations, and deadlines, but for the most part employees can come and go as they wish, an incredible benefit to working there, realized in just a handful of companies. Where do I sign up?
