But they don’t always bring pioneering watchinnovations that make a significant contribution tothe horological landscape. Oris is 110 years old this year,a date that will be remembered in the company’s longand illustrious history for the launch of the Oris 110 YearsLimited Edition, a watch with a 10-day power reserveand a patented non-linear power reserve indicator. Thiscombination has never been seen before in watchmaking.Oris was founded in 1904 in the small Swiss townof Hölstein, where it remains today. The vision of itsfounders was to produce good-quality watches atreasonable prices, offering consumers timepieces thatweren’t out of reach. That philosophy has been passeddown through the generations, and continues to informevery watch that Oris produces today.The company is independent and therefore free tochoose its own path. That path has made Oris one of ahandful of watch companies that only makes mechanicalwatches – there’s not a single quartz piece in the collection.Every watch is Swiss Made, and made with a purpose. Oriswatches are functional, high-performing and designed tobe used in everyday life, and are ultimately judged by thebrand strapline, ‘real watches for real people’.

The companywas founded by two men, whose early 20th-century visionwould quickly grow into one of the biggest names in the industryThe Oris story began 110 years ago when watchmakersPaul Cattin and Georges Christian arrived in the townof Hölstein, nestled in the picturesque foothills ofSwitzerland’s Jura Mountains. They purchased therecently closed Lohner & Co watch factory and, takinginspiration from their new surroundings, decided to calltheir company Oris after a nearby brook. On June 1, 1904,Cattin and Christian met and signed a contract with alocal notary, making it official – Oris was in business.In 1904, pocket watches were the fashion, andCattin and Christian wasted no time in launching Oris’sfirst model. It had an 18-carat gold case and a classic,conservative design, featuring Roman numerals andan open, white dial. It was well-received, and helpedOris establish a reputation for quality.On the back of this, Oris began investing in promotingits growing collection with advertisements and cataloguesproduced in a number of languages. Oris designs wereparticularly popular in Britain and its colonies.The company grew fast and by 1910 it was the largestemployer in Hölstein with a workforce of more than 300.Oris built houses to attract workers, and by 1918 it hadfactories on five sites. It began producing wristwatchesin the mid-1910s – a decision that would keep the brand atthe forefront of watchmaking into the 1920s and beyond.1901190219031904o r i s m ov e m e n t s t h at m a d e h i s to r yThe Oris factory in Hölsteinwhere the company hasbeen based for 110 yearsleft:the first tickOris’s first pocket watchwas created in 1904.

As war consumed Europe,the company was forced to diversifyDuring the 1920s and 1930s, Oris continued to expand. In1925, it opened a state-of-the-art electroplating factoryin Herbetswil. Suddenly, it was operating seven factoriesto help meet the worldwide demand for its watches.In 1927, the company mourned as Georges Christian, thelast of its two founders, died. With no natural successor,Oris became a public company, led by Jacques-DavidLeCoultre (who merged Jaeger with LeCoultre to formJaeger-LeCoultre in 1937). He appointed GeorgesChristian’s brother-in-law Oscar Herzog as GeneralManager – a position he would hold for 43 years.In 1934, the ‘Watch Statute’ came into force, prohibitingcompanies from introducing new technologies withoutpermission. This meant that Oris, which had only usedpin-lever escapement movements to that point, was unableto adopt better-quality lever escapements. Undeterred,Oris refined its pin-levers, and in 1945 became the first toreceive a distinction from the Bureaux Officiels de Contrôlede la Marche des Montres in Le Locle for a pin-levermovement. By this time, Oris had introduced its famousBig Crown Line. Launched in 1938, it was the brand’s firstpilot’s watch and the start of a relationship between Orisand the world of aviation that continues to this day.During the Second World War, Oris’s distributionnetwork was reduced significantly. To keep business alive,it manufactured alarm clocks, which led to the celebratedeight-day power reserve model, launched in 1949.growing 3Prohibition in the USends on 5 December193119321936Billboard magazine publishesits first music hit parade.

He appointed a younglawyer, Dr Rolf Portmann, and tasked him withlobbying the Swiss government to overturnthe Watch Statute. It would take Portmann adecade, but he would succeed, leaving Oris freeto introduce lever escapements. In 1966, Orisproduced its first automatic lever escapement,Calibre 645. A hugely reliable movement, itwould stay in the collection for 20 years.By the mid-1950s, Oris had become one ofthe most advanced manufacturers in the Swisswatch industry.

This advert from1988 positioned the brandas a producer of qualitymechanical watches1976-1989the nextgenerationAgainst the onslaught of cheap quartz watches from theFar East in the late 1970s, the traditional Swiss watchindustry was all but wiped out. Come the early 1980s,Oris was on its knees and needed a rescue missionThe end of the 1970s and beginning of the1980s was the Swiss watch industry’s nadir.This was the age of the Quartz Crisis, duringwhich around 900 companies would go outof business, and two-thirds of the workforcewould be laid off. Oris was not immune.In 1970, Oris had been sold to the GeneralWatch Company (which would become SwatchGroup), where it struggled. The businessshrank until it was running on a skeletonstaff by the early 1980s. It was dying, but tworemaining employees saw an opportunity.Dr Rolf Portmann and Head of Marketing,Ulrich W. Herzog, bought the companyout in 1982, becoming chairman and CEOrespectively. They took a typically Orisapproach to handling the new company’sdirection, drawing on its rich heritage andrefocusing on producing mechanical watches.By the mid-1990s, Oris had completely movedaway from quartz watches, sparking therevival of the Swiss watch industry thatwould boom in the years to come.above: a ringingendorsementFollowing the 1982buyout, Oris returnedto mechanical watches.In 1988, it launched theAlarm Wristwatchleft: men on amechanical mission1977Apple II is assembledin Silicon Valley andbecomes the world’sfirst mass-producedhome computer197619771979The SonyWalkman islaunched197819791980Soon after the buyout, newowners Ulrich W.
