ORIS WATCHES
HISTORY OF ORIS WATCHES
Oris is founded by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in the Swiss town of Hölstein. They named their new watch company Oris, after a nearby brook.
Since 1904 Oris have been crafting watches in Switzerland. One of the few Swiss watch companies that remain independent and privately owned.
Their watches are all purely mechanical and marked out by their distinctive design. Not one single battery-powered watch leaves the Oris workshop. As an integrated manufacturer Oris produces its own watch escapements from 1938. The company employs many highly skilled watchmakers, becoming one of the first employers to offer equal opportunities to both men and women.
The symbol of Oris mechanicals is the red rotor – it is a sign of the natural power that fuels their watches, and a registered trademark. Oris watches offer the luxury of common sense.
