Lémania was founded in 1884 by Alfred Lugrin (1858 – 1920) who had gained his initial watchmaking experience at Jaeger-LeCoultre in Le Sentier. From the beginning, he specialized in the production of chronographs, stopwatches and repeaters.
Lemania produced some incredible chronographs for adaptation by other brands (including Omega) or for military use. They also produced some very elegant watches in their own right such as this example powered by the much-celebrated Lemania CH27 which was used in the Omega Speedmaster when it landed on the moon - what a pedigree. Enhanced versions have also been used by Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet historically. Enhancements included column wheel caps, chronograph drive wheels mounted between pivoted bridges, extra jewels or end-stones and free-sprung balance wheels
