Step Through the Doors of OMEGA House Paris

OMEGA’s luxurious home for the duration of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 promises to be a unique sanctuary for guests and an exciting venue for evening events. Now, the Official Timekeeper reveals the interior spaces of OMEGA House, with many unique rooms, outdoor spaces, and immersive details that guests can explore.

Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, says, “We’ve designed OMEGA House to really bring guests into the heart of our brand. There’s so much to explore and uncover, with surprises around every corner. It’s not just a beautiful place to relax and celebrate, but it’s also a showcase of everything that makes OMEGA special.

Located at The Hôtel de Poulpry, Maison des Polytechniciens, OMEGA House Paris is spread over multiple floors. As guests enter, they will step into The Courtyard – a sophisticated outdoor space beyond the bustle of Paris. From there, they can transition through to The Reception, featuring a full timeline of OMEGA’s history at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, with 92 years of highlights beginning in 1932. 

The entire light-filled house is then open to discover, with specific rooms dedicated to OMEGA’s watchmaking universe. These rooms include:

  • Timekeeping, showcasing the modern OMEGA technologies that are critical to the Olympic Games today. From the electronic starting pistol through to the photofinish camera.
  • The Stadium, giving guests a unique OMEGA House experience, in which they can feel the excitement of being an Olympic Games champion.
  • Speedmaster, which offers a gravity-defying vision of OMEGA’s history in space exploration. Highlights include a variety of floating Speedmaster watches, astronaut memorabilia, and a giant golden astronaut for the perfect selfie moment.
  • Seamaster, allowing guests to enjoy a drink in sophisticated surroundings, while also diving into a collection of current OMEGA Seamaster watches.
  • Her Time, hosting an exhibition of OMEGA women’s watchmaking from the past 100 years, highlighted by vintage ladies’ timepieces and keepsakes.

A second outdoor area is then revealed at the back of the house. The Garden is a green oasis, giving guests an escape from the city. Here, the refreshing atmosphere is set with comfortable furniture and a big screen for watching the sport.

Interactive elements are spread throughout OMEGA House so that guests can embrace the playful spirit. From photo opportunities and a celebrity autograph wall, through to displays of Paris 2024 timepieces, nobody will go home without enjoying a full OMEGA experience.

OMEGA House will be open for members only from Sunday, July 28th, through to Saturday, August 10th, with a full event schedule being unveiled throughout the Olympic Games. The Paris edition follows the first OMEGA House that opened its doors at London 2012, followed by Rio de Janeiro in 2016. In keeping with that growing tradition, the House for Paris 2024 is expected to be another “place to be” for those who are in the city.
