Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

Offered in very good overall condition, the present timepiece was gifted by Michael Schumacher to the present owner, as shown on the engraving 'Thank you for your support, Michael'. Representing the perpetual excellence of Omega, the Louis Brandt model is a tribute to the founding father of the brand.

Louis Brandt & Frère
In 1848, in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Louis Brandt, watchmaker, started his own manufacture. I 1880 a new manufacture was established in Bienne called Louis Brandt & Fils when eldest son Louis-Paul joined the business. Within ten years, the manufacture had become the largest in Switzerland. From 1891 the company was renamed Louis Brandt & Frère when both Louis-Paul and younger brother César joined the business. At that time, the Brandt brothers introduced new production techniques, mechanization and automation, transforming the small-series manufacture of watches into industrial-scale production. In 1894 they changed their name to Omega, named after their first watch. This name also conveyed quality because Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and means 'perfection'.
