8. Omega
Omega is a Swiss luxury watchmaker based in Bienne, Switzerland.
Omega was founded by Louis Brandt at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848. He was a 23-year-old that at that time assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen.
After his death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and César took over, and troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control.
Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory where its headquarters are still situated today.
In 1917 the Britain’s Royal Flying Corps chose Omega as its official timekeepers for its combat units, and the American army did the same in 1918.
In 2014 Omega even became the official timekeeper of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
