Originally known as La Generale Watch Co., Omega was founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland by Louis Brandt in 1848. Interestingly, he was a key-wound precision pocket watch assembler who sold his work across Europe, from England to Scandinavia. Continuing the legacy, Mr. Brandt\u2019s two sons, C\u00e9sar and Louis-Paul took over the company and revolutionized it by building a state of the art, end-to-end manufacturing unit that let the brothers oversee the entire production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandt brothers leveraged on the unit they set-up with control over, tools and machinery including the interchange of components. C\u00e9sar and Louis-Paul were able to produce innovative movements, one of which became a global success because of its ease of repair and timekeeping accuracy\u00a0and came to be known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Omega<\/a> Caliber. In 1903, La Generale Watch Co was officially changed to Omega Watch Co. -a spin off to the original brand name. Lionel Messi\u2019s famous quote In football as in watchmaking, talent and elegance mean nothing without rigour and precision thus, righteously resonates with Omega Watch brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the world recognizes Omega as a brand that has produced and continues to make some of the finest timekeeping pieces including the first watch ever worn to the moon, famously known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kapoorwatch.com\/watches\/omega\/speedmaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omega Speedmaster Professional<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> &lt; 1<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minute<\/span><\/span>Omega, a brand that personifies perfection and precision, has created a niche for itself in the watch industry with its long-standing and well established reputation.
