Lugrin received awards and gold medals at exhibitions in Milan in 1906 and in Bern in 1914.
Until 1930, the factory was called Lugrin SA, until Lugrin's son-in-law Marius Meylan established the firm Lemania Watch Co., based in L'Orient, Switzerland (Vaud).
In 1932, Lemania, Omega and Tissot merged to form the SSIH group.
[1] Lemania produced movements for Omega, including for the Speedmaster that Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon.
In 1980, creditor banks gave Nicolas Hayek the task of restructuring the group.
