Omega Geneva
Omega - One of the Pioneers of Today Haute Horology
A prestigious watch-making powerhouse, created over a century and a half, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, a place synonymous with the cradle of today Haute Horology, Omega is one of the elites of the fine watch-making industry, associated with immaculate Swiss precision, but also with a forward-thinking life-guiding philosophy and with a pioneering spirit. According to the brand’s official website, Omega is a watch manufacture that perpetually redefines state-of-the-art mechanical watch making since 1848.
Furthermore, over the years, this producer added to its record countless innovations, being the only brand in the world to create a NASA flight qualified for all manned space missions watch, or the respected official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932 or the brand that created the timepieces that accompanied James Bond in his amazing adventures.
Following the brand’s adventure through time, we discover that Omega is the creation of a very young entrepreneur, Louis Brandt, who at the age of only 23 started a small business creating his own assembly workshop, which was supplied by a local manufacturer, and which produced high-quality key-wound pocket watches, which targeted the English market.
After Louis Brandt’s death, in 1879, Omega suffered a great transformation under the presidency of his two sons, Cesar and Louis-Paul Brandt, who decided to renounce the partnership with outside suppliers in favor of developing an independent in-house watch-manufacture.
Through the years, the brand brought to life countless horological innovations, highly appreciated by watch-connoisseurs worldwide. Among those, the first minute repeater, a timepiece that, at the touch of a button, could chime the hours and minutes, a watch especially designed for motorcycles, attachable to the gas tank, a pocket watch for sight-impaired people, a shockproof wristwatch, the very first waterproof timepiece and so many others.
However, the brand’s name will always be associated with many prestigious competitions, from balloon racing to the Olympics, and with the legendary Moonwatch, the only timepiece used by NASA in space exploring missions. Nevertheless, Omega also produced the stylish watches worn by both Pierre Brosnan and Daniel Craig, in order to bring a plus of charisma to their, also legendary character James Bond.
A pioneer among the finest watch-making powerhouses, Omega always created timepieces of unquestionable elegance, outstanding mechanical sophistication and unmatched quality, extremely appreciated by watch collectors and the day’s VIP’s.
