Omega: The watch making firm Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in Le
Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. In 1880, it moved to its current location in
Bienne, Switzerland. At the beginning, the company was not referred to as
Omega. The name was later christened in 1894, when a watch model, the “Omega”
was launched. As one of the world’s better known watch companies, they have
been the official timekeepers for the Olympic Games, since 1932 and have also
been supplying American and Russian astronauts with their “moon watch” since
1965 and 1975 respectively. The firm has been a member of the Swatch Group
since 1983.
