Collection "Louis Brandt by Omega", 1984
Launched during the World Congress of Omega Agents held at Interlaken (May 20-24, 1984), this high standing collection was named "Louis Brandt" to equally honour the company founder and Omega’s tradition of fine craftsmanship. Inspired by Fernando Fontana, director of the Italian case manufacturer Lascor in Sesto Calende, the series consists exclusively of handmade complicated mechanical watches. The scratch-proof sapphire glass back of the watertight cases lets the viewer admire the precious engraved movement and the reflections of light on the polished surfaces. Two characteristics are shared by the entire collection: the gold winding crown with seven brilliant cut diamonds and the gold buckle of the leather bands with its diamond-adorned prong. Each "Louis Brandt" is part of a numbered small series.
