These achievements made Omega the forerunner of accurate timepieces and were chosen as the official timekeeper of the Olympic games in 1932.
While making history, Omega also changed the world of horology by introducing a tourbillon in a wristwatch.
Post these achievements, Omega went on to produce the world’s first divers watch made available to civilians. What made this calibre special was its extraordinary accurate timekeeping abilities and the fact that each and every component of this collection could be replaced by any watchmaker without any modifications. On 1st August 1894, Omega launched its famed 19-ligne Calibre. After Louis’s death, the brand was taken over by his sons Louis-Paul and Cesar. During this era, Louis created the world’s first minute-repeater wristwatch.
Louis started his watchmaking journey in a small workshop situated in the small Swiss village of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Omega, a name synonymous with quality and innovation, was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt.
