Oris is a top quality Swiss watch brand that is world renowned for its mechanical watches. Their innovative creations are spread out into various industries, all the way from sports to arts and culture.
The company's humble origins date back to 1904. It was founded by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in the quiet town of Hölstein, Switzerland. This company became an innovator in the field of mechanical watches, establishing highs standards as well as pioneering new techniques.
Throughout time, the company has continued to renovate and revamp the image of the mechanical watch. Some of their brilliant additions include analogue date pointers, automatic movement, mechanical chronographs, and analogue world time display.
As for the different models of Oris watches, the Oris Pointer calendar of 1938 is a perfect example of precision coupled with simple artistry. Their timepieces during the Second World War is another noteworthy work. It was around this that they introduced clock movement with eight-day power-reserve.
