This is my dream watch, and I own it. I wanted one since the first time I saw it, even before I learned about the very special movement. Here are the technical details:
Oris was established in 1904 by Paul Cattin and Georges Christian in Hölstein, Switzerland. Starting in the 1930s they were particularly known for their pointer date watches, which are still an important part of their collection. They also made 8-day mechanical alarm clocks in the 1950s. Oris survived the quartz revolution of the 70s, and was a leader in the rebirth of mechanical watches in the 1980s. For their 100th anniversary Oris offered an anniversary set including an Artelier Worldtimer and an 8-day clock. Click here to email me about the Oris XXL Worldtimer. Where I bought this watch: |
