A stunning visual history of one of the world's most iconic watch brands.

Discover the story of luxury Swiss watch manufacturer Omega, from the founding of the brand in 1848 through its rise to global domination. Packed with photographs and information covering the company's impressive history, you'll discover how Omega created the first minute-repeating wristwatch (a groundbreaking innovation in horology), its crucial role in military timekeeping during both World Wars, how the Omega Speedmaster Professional became the first watch on the moon, before the brand became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games as well as James Bond's watch of choice.

With an exploration of everything from Omega's iconic Hollywood appearances and the thriving collectors' market to the brand's efforts to raise awareness of environmental issues, this is the perfect gift for Omega lovers and watch enthusiasts everywhere.

Also available in this series: Rolex, Tiffany and Co, Cartier, Vivienne Westwood, Bulgari, Manolo Blahnik and Calvin Klein.
