Bom dia Pessoal,
já ''ouvi'' outras histórias também:
Brandt was the great architect and builder of Omega. His influence would be felt over the next half-century. The economic difficulties brought on by the First World War would lead him to work actively from 1925 toward the union of Omega and Tissot, then to their merger in 1930 into the group SSIH, Geneva.

Omega and Tissot
After the New York stock market crash of 1929 and the subsequent worldwide financial crisis, the market for watches collapsed. In 1930 Paul Tissot-Daguette was Managing Director of Omega. Under his leadership Tissot and Omega formed a joint marketing organisation, Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogére (SSIH) so that between them they could produce a complete range of watches whilst maintaining separate companies.
The Omega and Tissot factories produced movements for both brands, the Omega factory specialising in more complex movements, such as some automatic self winding movements, and Tissot the simpler movements. Where essentially the same movements were produced in both factories, most parts are interchangeable. But there are usually some differences between Omega and Tissot variants to prevent swapping movements between brands by watchmakers. Usually the dimensions were sightly different, but as Tissot tended more to the medium price range, some Tissot details were cheaper, such as Omega using a balance spring with a Breguet overcoil, whereas the Tissot counterpart would have a flat balance spring. A flat balance spring could be used in the condition it came from the spring manufacturer, just cut the to right length. But a Breguet overcoil had to be formed by hand, which was a skilled operation and increased the component cost of the spring considerably.

na verdade a crise não aconteceu somente no Brasil, houve uma recessão mundial em 1930,
sou grande admirador da marca Omega, tenho vários de bolso,
mas parece que eles não gostam muito de falar sobre essa época, de cada 10 sites
que vc pesquisa somente 1 ou 2 fala sobre o assunto,
abraços,
