Lemania, a prestigious Swiss watch brand, has a rich history that dates back to its founding in 1884 by Alfred Lugrin. Lugrin specialized in chronographs, stopwatches, and complex movement manufacturing, laying the groundwork for what would become a legacy of innovation and excellence in watchmaking. In 1932, the company officially adopted the name Lemania Watch Co., following its merger with Omega and Tissot into the SSIH group (Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère), which marked a significant milestone in its development. Lemania is perhaps best known for its contributions to the development of chronograph movements. The Lemania 2320 caliber introduced in 1942, became legendary when it was chosen by many of the high end watch houses This caliber is revered among collectors and continues to influence watch design to this day. Despite facing challenges during the quartz crisis of the 1970s and 1980s, Lemania continued to innovate. It remained a key player in mechanical movement manufacturing. In 1992, Lemania became part of Breguet, which was subsequently acquired by The Swatch Group. What's on Offer Well isn't this just beautiful?!
