Oris

Starting in 1904, this innovative watch manufacturer was opened in Switzerland by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian. In 1925, they started their own electroplating factory. The Oris watch was definitely growing. In 1938, the legendary pointer calendar watch started to be made. This particular Oris watch style was so popular, it is still featured in many catalogs and on the internet today. By 1950, Cattin and Christian had built a solid reputation for high quality alarm clocks. The company brandished a clock that only needed to be wound every eight days. Many of these Oris alarm clocks are still being used today. Cattin and Christian focused on reliability and practicality. Oris watches are mechanical watches rather than more common quartz movement watches. In 1988, the first mechanical alarm wrist watch was introduced in limited edition. Oris are very stylish. To commemorate their ninetieth anniversary, Oris released unique watches: ninety gorgeous watches made of 18-carat rose gold, every one being individually numbered.
