·If sanctioned by Omega (and who would know?), they might have been made by someone other than Omega, under license? Just my thoughts.

··Melbourne AustraliaMost of the "dealer display" wall clocks shown around the internet are bullshit.
Anything with a "Jurgen Bolsch" (something like that) quartz movement is bogus.
Original display clocks of the type you posted were not made by Omega, but by an independent company, e.g.: RUEGG S.A. in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
There's a couple of discussions here on the forum if you want to search for them.
Here's one.

I do not fully agree on bullshit and phony. they do not have an omega mechanism ok, omega has authorized like other breds to another company to build these with its logo, respecting some parameters. the Chinese and Indians have benefited by producing many watches but not authorized by omega etc .. remains however a fake. the reproduction of a trademark has me is forbidden, I think if there is a fake there is also a real one.

·wall clocks for sale chrono24 there are some and they also have a nice cost, hanging on a wall they have their effect. if we consider them the same it has those produced by the Chinese and Indians now their wall clocks would not cost 150 $ but they can be sold for collectors even for 2000 $ ..

··Melbourne AustraliaAlmost forgot about mine.
Stein Jewellers Toledo Ohio, no longer around.
As I didn't have 120VAC available, I converted the movement to a high torque silent quartz motor.
I think another member has one of these as well, in his avatar but can't remember who it is.

·I too, after almost 40 ticks and tacs, I replaced the rotor coil and the microconductor, however, everything remained as it was elag swiss, in fact I inserted a reinforced rotor and now I think it also runs for my grandchildren

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.P Pgomeghere is another omega N Y division
i think omega created the division in america to produce 120v electric wall clocks
so this is not Omega... this is actually a US company that started in 1936 making darkroom enlargers which also need timers.
same name but not related. They are also called Simmons Omega. I can find no link between them and they appear to still exist.

·it is always part of the history of omega, there are so many in the rooms that are not beautiful even for the hours they carry we speak of Chinese watches, these make you want to look at the walls of the house.

·Hello guys,
What do you think about this watch?
this is been a “totem” watch made for the FINA Olympics Game of Swimming in Rome, Italy 2009.
Is it real?
A friend of mine bought in a street market in Rome. I am sure it is the real one! also, is super heavy...
I saw online there is a similiar one made for the Tokyo Olympics game.
Please let me know, I’m very curious
sorry for the photo, is the best I could do it
