Little Switzerland Shops In The Caribbean Carry Omega Watches, Favored By Collectors

Dec. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Omega watches and chronometers are favorites of serious collectors, according to Little Switzerland, a luxury jewelry and watch retailer with shops located in highly sought-after travel destinations in the Caribbean and beyond.

Omega is recognized for its innovation, precision and accuracy. It has been the official timekeeping device at many of the Olympics games, including the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and has been used by NASA. Buzz Aldrich wore an Omega watch on his historic walk on the moon in 1969. James Bond has worn the watches in many of the movies beginning in 1995.

Among Omega’s innovations have been the world's first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon and the revolutionary coaxial escapement developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker George Daniels.

“Many of our customers are watch collectors and come especially to our stores when they are in the Caribbean to purchase their Omega watches,” explains Beth Downey, Little Switzerland’s vice president for merchandising. “The watches and chronometers also appeal to a wide range of non-collectors because they are luxury timepieces and because of Omega’s reputation for precision, innovation and quality.”

Travelers in the Caribbean can stop by Little Switzerland shops for tax-free and duty-free Omega watches. Little Switzerland’s concierge team pampers shoppers while encouraging them to purchase the most exquisite jewelry and watches as a special memento of their Caribbean vacation.

Little Switzerland shops are located across the Caribbean in the popular travel destinations of Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Curaçao, Puerto Rico, St. John, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Tortola. There are also stores in Key West, Fla.
