At \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eJaeger-LeCoultre\u003c\/span\u003e and at his own manufacture, which he ran under his own name, Lugrin gained a reputation for expertise and the soundness of his èbauches, particularly chronographs. After his death, it was under his son-in-law Maurice Meylan's leadership that the manufacture was renamed Lemania and moved to L'Orient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 1932, Lemania joined Omega and Tissot to form SSIH (\u003ci\u003eSociété Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogére\u003c\/i\u003e SA). It was this relationship--particularly with Omega--that would result in the creation of some of the most iconic calibers in horological history, like the Lemania 1873 (or Omega Caliber .861) found in the legendary \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eOmega Speedmaster\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lemania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15444760428631,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Lemania_WOS09_5.jpg?v=1542228995","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/lemania-triple-register-chronograph-as02911","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
