What brand of watch is Omega?

Omega is a world-famous brand under SMH, a Swiss microelectronics and watchmaking group. Since the establishment of 1848, the company has been adhering to the spirit of "Omega-a symbol of Excellence" by the founder Louis Brandt.

Brand history

1848, Swiss watch Omega was born in the hands of a 23-year-old young man. This man is Louis Brandt, a small craftsman. In the long winter in Switzerland, Brandt pieced together the parts bought from local craftsmen by the faint light and made a pocket watch that was popular at that time. Spring came and the snow melted. Brandt took his watch and sold it all over Europe. Brandt's two sons, Louis Paul and Caesar, then joined him.

Brandt died in 1879, and two sons took on the heavy responsibility of the family business. His son transformed Louis Brandt into a watch factory and moved the factory to a beer area with abundant manpower, rich resources and convenient transportation. Louis Brandt once became the largest watch company in Switzerland.

For Omega, 1894 was a year of changing fate-"19 French Movement" was born with an innovative split and combination mode. After the relocation, Brandt took the lead in abandoning the old manual assembly system and began mass production of standardized parts. The assembly is precise and accurate, and it is considered by the industry to be a reasonable price work in accurate timepieces. Since then, the watch industry has entered the era of mass production and division of labor assembly.

At that time, a banker named this extremely successful movement "OMEGA", which is the last letter in Greek to indicate the perfect performance of this movement. This year, the Omega movement, which achieved market success through ingenious advertising, won the observatory watch certificates issued by the Geneva and London observatories. To commemorate this achievement, Omega has since become the official name of this brand.
