louis brandt and omega
Founded in 1848 in La-Chaux-de Fonds (Switzerland) by Louis Brandt, the company moved to Biel in 1880 under the new name Louis Brandt & Fils. In the same year, his sons, the brothers Louis-Paul and César Brandt, introduced the first calibers with cylinder escapements. These watches achieve excellent rates and are awarded many prizes. These watches are marketed under the Helvetia, Jura and Patria brands. In 1891, the company is renamed Louis Brandt & Frère. 1894 The company presents the new 19-liner omega caliber (movement diameter 43 mm). Its innovative technology and comparatively low price made it the company's most successful caliber. 1903 The company is renamed Omega Watch Co.
