Reflecting its strong belief in the resilience of the American economy, Swiss watchmaker OMEGA has announced that it will invest substantially in the USA, opening nine new boutiques in the fourth quarter of 2010 to be followed by around twenty more. Founded in 1848, OMEGA has been dedicated to innovative watchmaking from its beginning – a commitment which has led to the creation of its Co-Axial caliber, generally acknowledged to be one of the world’s best series-produced mechanical watch movements.
