OMEGA HISTORY
Each watch mark has the history.
But it is far not everyone makes history ashas made
Omega.
The history of mark of Omega is rich with various
achievements in the field of watch skill which at times amazed the world
literally. In the Greek alphabet letter OMEGA is a synonym of total
perfection.
In watch industry OMEGA is, perhaps, one of the
most known marks, a symbol of the absolute design and technology.
Louis Brandt started researching and developing pocket watches in 1848
in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The quality of
workmanship and attention to detail would foreshadow the watches that would
later carry the Omega name. Brandt continued making watches there until 1877,
when he formed Louis Brandt & Fils company with his oldest son, Louis Paul.
Louis Paul and his brother Caesaer moved the company to Bienne
two years later. It remains there to this day.
Innovators in every way, the Brandt brothers were the first swiss watch makers
to use the divided assembly line. Allowing quality watches to be mass-produced,
this process also allowed the prices of the watches to be moderated as
efficiency improved. The company went through several name changes through the
years--Louis Brandt & Frere (1891), Louis Brandt and Frere-Omega Watch Co.
(1903), Omega, Louis Brandt & Frere (1947), and Omega Ltd in 1982. Through
all of this time and through all of the name changes, the pride in quality of
workmanship remained in the Omega watch.
While accessible to the general public, the Omega watch has an outstanding
history. Omega first mass-produced the pocket watch in 1894. By 1902 Omega
introduced the first wrist watch. Omega has been the proud official timer of no
less than 21 Olympic Games. Omega watches were designated the official watch of
American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts.
On account of its precision and reliability, OMEGA's Speedmaster watch was
chosen by NASA as its official chronometer in 1965 and 4 years later was the
first watch to be worn on the moon, when, on 21 July 1969, Neil Armstrong made
his giant leap for mankind.
In more recent years, OMEGA has continued to build on its reputation for
precision and innovation, presenting the world's first self-winding wristwatch
with central tourbillon (launched in 1994) and the revolutionary coaxial
escapement sur developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker
George Daniels first offered in limited series in 1999.
