Omega Watches / Buying A Omega Watch

In 1848 at the age of 23 Louis Brandt set up an assembly workshop, to assemble precision pocket watches from componants shipped to his workshop. In 1879 he died and his two sons took over the business and because of irratic supply and quality of componants decided to manufacture watches themselves.

In 1885 they produced the Omega "LABRADOR" range of gents watches and by 1892 they produced the first minuite repeater capable of sounding the "HOURS" and "QUARTER HOURS" at the touch of a button. In 1901 they made a watch especially for motorcycles that could be attached to the gas tank.

In 1909 the omega was responsible for timekeeping at the Gorden-Bennett Cup, International Ballon race. In 1917 they made the first watch which could be read by fingers, for people with impaired sight. In 1929 they launched the anti-shock watch called the "OMEGA ARMURE".
