Omega, the extravagant watch manufacturer, is celebrated for its graceful, innovative and gracious style in the world. Since its introduction in Switzerland in 1848 by Louis Brandt, Omega has never stopped looking for innovation and advancement.
The company did not begin in a fabulous scale. It was began by bringing in local hand-operated rolling watches by Louis, the beginner. It is with the innovative spirit that the company rose to the industry standard after years.
In 1903, there are only 800 employees in the company and only 240,000 watches were produced every year. However, the company expanded nonstop. The company once rose to number one watch producer in Switzerland. In the 1960s, the company launched the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronography and put into aviation use. It was practiced by NASA and became the first watch appearing in the moon. But the tide reversed in 1975 when the economic recession stroke. The company scrambled onward.
Because of its venturous spirit, the company born again in the 90s. In 1995, the Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional was worn by Pierce Brosnan, a famed film actor. Four years later, in 1999, it mass produced a watch with co-axial escapement and won much popularity. Ever since then, Omega is so popular among the world that it was selected to be the Olympics watches.
Omega never stops improving. Nowadays, it is offering a variety of models. Some of them could be voguish for fashionistas, while some are professional designed for the professional. I am positive that it is a ever popular brand.
