Omega: “A Century Of Fine Ladies’ Timepieces” exhibition..

A couple of weeks ago, Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Omega dedicated an exhibition showcasing many exquisite ladies’ watches from the 1920s. “A Century of Fine Ladies’ Timepieces” provided guests with an opportunity to get up-close and personal with vintage timepieces from the Omega Museum. Museum manager Petros Protopapas was present to share his knowledge on these watches. Guests were also treated to a sumptuous dinner after the event. Following are some highlights for your viewing pleasure.
