OMEGA SA is a Swiss manufacturer of luxury watches, based in Biel/Bienne, and is a member of the Swatch Group, which groups together 18 makes of watch across all market segments, and that employs more than 35,000 people in more than 50 countries. OMEGA stands for excellence, precision and innovation in the art of watchmaking. Various watches have a cult character, one example being the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional, the first and still the only watch to have been on the Moon. Since 1932, OMEGA has been official timekeeper at the Olympic Games on no fewer than 28 occasions. The last eight James Bond secret agent films have also helped to make OMEGA a well-known name. The recognition value of this watchmaker has also been extended by various well-known ambassadors from the worlds of sport, film and fashion (e.g. Michael Phelps, George Clooney and Kaia Gerber).

In early November 2017, the futuristic new production building was inaugurated. This five-storey building was constructed on sustainable principles and therefore satisfies the highest of aspirations in terms of energy efficiency and environmental compatibility. The architect decided on a mixture of Swiss spruce and concrete. The production of watches involves the highest standards of meticulousness and cleanliness at the workplace, and the same is true of lighting.

Particularly good lighting is needed for the filigree and meticulous work performed at the watchmaker's workplace. A long time ago, OMEGA worked with neon luminaires from Waldmann, but now OMEGA places its confidence in the latest technology from Waldmann, in the form of the TANEO arm-mounted luminaire. With its light output suitable for nearly every application, high light quality and ergonomic handling, TANEO provides optimum working conditions and offers incomparable flexibility regarding its adjustment to individual and activity-related requirements. In addition, cutting-edge reflection and light control technology creates homogeneous light across the surface with soft transitions and is entirely free of glare and shading. This makes the work of the watchmaker a good deal easier. The men and women who work for OMEGA, as well as their suppliers, use these same luminaires from Waldmann, to assure a uniform standard of lighting.
