Oris was founded in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in Hölstein, Switzerland. For over a century, Oris has focused exclusively on mechanical watches – a rare dedication in an industry dominated by quartz and digital technology. Oris’ mission is simple: to create functional, reliable, and affordable Swiss watches without compromising on quality.
