Oris Watches

Oris Watches have a long history of quality, efficiency, and performance. The watchmaking company was named after a brook next to Holstein town. It has been around for a century doing what they do best. The company built itself slowly and steadily with the zeal to always come up with new and innovative ideas that revolutionized the watchmaking industry. Today Oris is still one of the few watch companies that are independent and privately owned.

 

Oris History 

1904-1906

The Oris watch company was founded by two business idealists Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in 1904. The two businessmen saw a business opportunity in the small Swiss town of Holstein and entered into a contract with the mayor allowing them to buy the recently closed Lohner & Co watch factory and rebuild it as Oris watch factory. After operating for two years, the company opened another branch in Holderbank a nearby town.

1911-1925

After another five years, Oris companies grew to be the largest employer in the small town of Holstein giving over 300 people descent jobs. In addition to providing jobs, Oris Company built houses for its staff, therefore, increasing their productivity. By 1925, Oris Company had begun fitting their pocket watches into bracelet buckles making their first wristwatches.

1927-1934

The company's Co-finder dies in the year 1927 leaving Oscar Herzog who was the brother in law to Christian to take over as general manager. He was to propel the company through the many challenges it faced for the next 43 years. Among these challenges was the new Swiss watch statute that was introduced in the year 1934. This statute prohibited watchmaking companies from coming up with new technologies without permission from the authorities.

1938-1940

In the year 1938, Oris company went ahead and came up with its watch escapements. It also introduced the first watch for pilots during the same year incorporating a big crown with a pointer calendar function. In 1940, Oris Company is negatively impacted by the Second World War reducing sales beyond Switzerland and making them turn to the manufacture of alarm clocks to stay afloat.

1945-1952

During the year 1945, the company was awarded over 200 distinctions for their pin level movement which was as accurate as of the level escapement. Oris Company launched its first automatic watch in the year 1952, it was powered by Oris's Caliber 601.

1965-1966

In the year 1965, Oris Company launched a specialized driver's watch with a uni-directional rotating bezel. The hours were illuminated and it had a water resistance of up to 100m deep. Thanks to the lawyer Dr. Rolf Portmann hired by Oscar Herzog in the year 1956, the company was able to break from the Switch Watch Statute in 1966. This allowed the company to use level escapements in its watch movement. As a result, the company launched the Oris Caliber 652 which was awarded full chronometer certification.

End of the 1960s

By the end of the 1960s, Oris Company was among the 10 largest watchmaking companies in the world. It was producing an average of 1.2 million watches annually for global markets. With this success, they were able to provide employment to over 800 workers across various branches throughout different towns, provide apprenticeship programs to watchmakers and engineers as well as producing their watchmaking machines.
