In 1848, in Switzerland in the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds was founded watch manufacture «Louis Brandt & Fills». It was founded by the 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled watches from parts that he supplied the local artisans during the winter. The company was a workshop for the assembling watches. In the spring, Louis Brandt began traveling to Europe to sell his products.

In 1879, after the death of Louis, his sons, César and Louis-Paul, turned the company into watch factory, where manufacturing and assembling of details of the movement were in the same place. In 1880 the production moved to the city of Biel. In 1884, the first model Omega (calibre 19) was created. It symbolized perfection, durability, excellence and perfection. The popularity of these watches became so enormous that the brothers changed the name of the company Brandt of «Louis Brandt & Fills» to «Omega».

In 1903, after the death of the brothers, one of the largest watch companies in Switzerland passed into the hands of their four sons. The company at that time produced 240 000 watches in the year and had 800 employees. The eldest son - 23-year-old Paul-Emile in the next 50 years made a great contribution to the company. At the end of World War I economic crisis forced it to conclude an alliance with the watch company Tissot. Together they formed a corporation «Societe Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogere SA» (SSIH). In 1975-1980 years the corporation could hardly avoid bankruptcy and in 1983 merged with ASUAG, creating ASUAG-SSIH holding. Since 1985, the holding company was headed by Nicolas Hayek, who renames the holding in SSH (Société suisse de Microélectronique et d'Horlogerie).
