Omega Watches
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega watches have been at the vanguard of horological innovation for over a century. A visionary Swiss watchmaker, Brandt's unlikely story began by constructing precision pocket watches using parts from local craftspeople. His commitment to accuracy and craftsmanship rapidly earned his timepieces a reputation for excellence. By the late 19th century, Omega had revolutionized watchmaking with its cutting-edge 19-line "Omega" caliber — a timepiece so successful that the company adopted the name as its official brand.
