Musée OMEGA
Overview
Intro
An ultra-modern home for a long and distinguished history : In 2019, OMEGA opened a new Museum at “La Cité du Temps”, the Swatch Group/OMEGA campus in Biel/Bienne Switzerland. Located in a beautiful light-filled building designed by award-winning architect Shigeru Ban, OMEGA’s stunning new Museum is a space worthy of a brand with extraordinary stories to share.
Long before George Clooney or Nicole Kidman featured in advertisements for Omega watches, the watches manufactured by the legendary Biel company were the loyal companions of famous people: queens, secret agents, politicians, sportsmen and pilots wore them. Albert Einstein owned a pocket watch and John F. Kennedy sported an Omega watch on his wrist when he was sworn into office. The Speedmaster design landed on the moon along with the astronauts. And the exceedingly precise Swiss chronometers helped the indestructible movie hero James Bond save the world a total of seven times.
The OMEGA Museum in Biel/Bienne Switzerland was the first museum to be dedicated to a single Swiss watchmaker and has long been the guardian of OMEGA’s history. However, given the length and depth of the brand’s legacy, it was inevitable that a new Museum would eventually be required, as illustrated by this brief snapshot of history.
