Intro
Follow OMEGA from the first pocket watch to the moon. At the OMEGA Museum in Biel/Bienne you measure your running time like at the Olympics, stand inside a Speedmaster, on the moon and in front of the watch that Daniel Craig wore in "No Time To Die".
The OMEGA Museum at a glance
The OMEGA Museum in the Cité du Temps in Biel/Bienne in the canton of Bern shows the history of the watch brand, which began in 1848 as Louis Brandt's workshop. On a 50-meter-long steel bracelet, 64 showcases with timepieces from all eras are lined up. The Swiss wood and glass building was designed by Shigeru Ban and also houses the Planet Swatch museum.
What to experience
Pioneering achievements at your fingertips (45 minutes)
Your journey through time begins with a film about timekeeping and the history of OMEGA. The exhibition traces the path from early pocket watches to global brand. At various stations you can get active yourself and assemble a clockwork yourself or measure your time on a running course with the official Olympic technology.
- Good to know: Audio guides are available free of charge in 8 languages.
- Tip: From Biel/Bienne/Bienne train station, bus lines 2, 4 or 72 go directly to the museum.
Originals from the Moon and James Bond (45 minutes)
In the oversized model of a Speedmaster, you stand inside the watch and later take your first steps on the moon. Behind glass rests the original that Gene Cernan wore on the last Apollo mission in 1972. In the Bond section, near the photo of Daniel Craig, you will find the watch he wore in the Bond film "No Time to Die".
Explore Planet Swatch (30-45 minutes)
One floor up, over 5000 colorful Swatch watches await you, which tell their stories in glowing columns. At a design station you can design your own Swatch and in the film area you will meet the models inspired by James Bond. The round, light-flooded building was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.
- Good to know: Admission to Planet Swatch is free, as is the case at the OMEGA Museum.
