OMEGA celebrates its long time involvements in Ladies Watches with  'A Century of Fine Ladies Timepieces' exhibition in ION Orchard Singapore.  The exhibition is at the ground floor atrium of ION Orchard from 5 to 13 July and opens daily from 11am to 9pm.

Within the exhibition, will feature many Ladies' museum pieces from 1921 till the new collections.  Some of those pieces have not left the museum before and have made its way for the show.
For myself, I discovered that OMEGA had already made some stunning jewelery pieces a long time ago!  So OMEGA has never forgotten about the Ladies.

If you are in Singapore, please drop by to view some spectacular vintage pieces.  For lovers of OMEGA vintage pieces, you may be able to meet Mr Petros Protopapas, OMEGA Museum Manager and ask him any questions of your vintage pieces.

As for friends who are not here, some snapshots of the exhibition photographed yesterday during the opening evening ...

. . . the first being the very short shrift we give to the art of design and craft of making women's watches , and second, a tinge of sadness in the knowledge that many of these pieces are being scrapped today as tastes have changed. Some absolutely beautiful pieces you've captured, Kong. Amazed, Art

come back, if the current ladies will appreciate the vintage design. The guys do, that's part of the reasons for quite a number of reissues among brands. I saw a lady wearing a piece from her mother, wow, still looks, dainty and elegant, albeit a bit challenging for me to read clearly. Thanks for viewing, Art. Kong
